Alley Spider (Salapet)

Spiders can occasionally prey on small rodents and even birds, so I’d say fluffy foals are fair game.

Big-ass spider or small-as-fuck foals? Is this Australia?

Maybe South America, the Goliath Birdeater Spider is, officially, the largest spider with the Giant Huntsman from Laos coming in second, or first if you’re going by leg span.

I think this is a sadbox also, in some way

I beg your pardon?! Did you just say Goliath Birdeater?!

Yep. But it has never been seen to actually catch and eat birds preferring to hunt large insects. The name was given to it after another spider, different name, was seen eating a hummingbird. The span of the legs covers a dinner plate. The body is 12cm (4.75 inches) across while the leg span is 28cm (11 inches).
