Oh man, I can personally attest to Midwest cool summers = giant spiders. My neighbor brought one over to me last week and I almost died. I've NEVER seen an arachnid that big in Wisconsin.

WHY he brought it over to show me is beyond my comprehension, since I'm known to utter unintelligible groans and shrieks at normal sized spiders.

The Toads are huge this year too, although not as plentiful as years past. I think they're feeding on the giant-spider buffet and growing large right along with them.

This would be why he brought it over.

The mud daubers are liking it, too.

I'm afraid to ask you what eats the toads?

If you are a girl who shrieks over spiders and other crawly things...you don't have to wonder why He brought it over to you....the same reason cats and dogs prefer "squeeeeky" toys

hehehehehehe

And yes we do have some really big...and plentiful numbers of those critters this year...Ive killed some big ones lately....

They also get into your bed and bite....you will itch like crazy in the am...my wife's bites get infected (the one's the spiders give her...not the one's she gives me.... you twits)
