What is the biggest spider in the world?

The biggest spider in the world is the Goliath Spider, Theraphosa leblondi. It lives in coastal rainforests in northern South America. Its body can grow to 9 cm in length (3.5 inches) and its leg span can be up to 28 cm (11 inches). (from: Carwardine, M. 1995. The Guinness Book of Animal Records. Guinness Publishing.)

Sea spidersare bigger. Anyway, mythological or not, every spider deserves it's own web site.

Okay, it was kind of a lame pun.

remember that lobsters and Limulus crabs are close cousins of spiders. With or without butter?

My EO Wilson book has something on Pepsis cerberus, a SPIDER WASP.

Other than being the three headed dog that guards Hades and the evil Dr Cerberus in SPIDERMAN, I got no more to offer.

I thought it was a good pun, Roger. <pat,pat,pat>

There's also a reference to a "Mischocyttarus cerberus" -- another type of wasp which apparently likes to eat spiders.

I actually got to watch a spider and wasp face off a couple of years ago. Wasp won, which I think was almost predestined. I think wasps typically used the spiders to carry the egg and support the larva, rather than directly as food.
