The biggest one I've seen around here was one that looked like a wolf spider, but the size of a tarantula. was big enough that I used a big section of the garden hose to smack it. yuck!

Wolf spiders are great for the garden, its the brown recluse you want to watch out for.

Ever get that lone cricket somewhere in the bushes at 2am making all kinds of noise? Put wolf spiders in your garden and those crickets will stay the frik out of your yard!
