This spider lives in my grandparents garden in their front yard. Now I have been know to exaggerate the size of spiders in the past, but I swear this one is the size of a softball. While I was taking this picture (and was about 3 inches from the spider) a fly hit the web. The spider had the thing bitten and wrapped in webbing in just a couple of seconds. It was amazing and creepy all at the same time. But mostly creepy.
