This is actual size
and it was in our house!
 

Imagine

Keen eyes
Tupperware, Duct Tape, a Broom

stir together German Engineering
and American Ingenuity

and a woman who doesn't want
to kill spiders (particularly big ones)

because its bad mojo to
kill a fellow weaver

and

a

happy ending

 
  that spider is called a Huntsman BTW - pretty harmless because they have trouble moving their body into a position where they can penetrate our skin with their fangs - but can be scary when you get up to go to the loo during the night. I've got a few living in my place - some of them are really big (like 4 1/2 inches) and banded black and white. I used to keep them as pets when I was a boy.
