Found this chonky, fuzzy spider today. Her sac was open, and when we spread it a little more to peek inside, she was so still and stiff that Kitty and I thought she was dead. Nope, she was just sluggish until she realized we were about to flip her over for a better look; then she scuttled off. I'd never seen a spider that looked like her before, so I had to do a bit of Googling. My best guess is Olios giganteus, aka a Giant Crab Spider or a Golden Huntsman. She was about the size of a Wolf Spider, but totally different markings. Did I ID her correctly? #spiders #arachnid #arachnids #ranchlife #westtexas #wildlife #oliosgiganteus #giantcrabspider #goldenhuntsman #nature 📸 #googlepixel5a #teampixel #giftfromgoogle #madebygoogle (at Meador Draw Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU2-HbUvMrt/?utm_medium=tumblr

I love flipping on the lights in the morning and being greeted by spider tummies. Just look at these dorks! #spiders #bugluv #huntsmanspider #oliosgiganteus #holconiainsignis #nerds
