We don't get to many these large in Boston. This mofugger was waiting for me to walk into him. He was about the size of a half dollar. Thing was about to eat my dag. Now I feel like spiders are crawling all over me great.

I don't see any dueling dicks so I don't think it is a Spikes.

Not fangs.   Appendages to help hold prey.


BTW, I agree with the poster earlier who said that this is likely an orb weaver.

Orb weaver of some sort was the first thing I thought when I saw it as well.

Not fangs. The appendages are called pedipalps. Never would have known or cared, but I have a spider expert in the family.

On a quick Google, everything I found said UK and/or Western Europe.


BTW, I believe that it is a female, the ends of the pedipalps are not enlarged and the abdomen is large.
