SPIDERS!?! Eeeewww, my WORST fear! Can't stand them for nothing! Was in a friend's Chevy truck once, and a BIG Cane spider crawled from the roof, into the cab. Needless to say I almost jumped out while the truck was going. We had to pull over.
I don't know if this type of spider is in the Mainland, but here on Maui, they're almost everywhere. They're tan in color, and at "adult size" can measure to about 6"-7" from legs to legs, just standing as still as can be on a wall... but scare them and they can RUN!
Actually, there has been a little spider spinning a web on my driver's side window near the door frame, but he got blown away.
