Thank you both for those clips! Totally made my afternoon! The only thing better than MST3K is the original B-movie trailer, IMHO.

Of course I spent a few minutes on wikipedia myself this morning looking at pictures of large spiders (and giving myself the heebie jeebies) and I think that Charlotte is most likely an orb-weaver. She’s definitely making the characteristic “spider web” design web…over the entire bottom half of our window! Seriously, she is HUGE. She doesn’t have the exact same markings as the one in the link you posted, but they are pretty similar, just slightly more muted coloring. I think she is working on an egg sac which is pretty cool to watch if I remember to intentionally NOT think about millions of baby spiders hatching right outside my kitchen.

While spiders don’t trigger that for me, and I’ll even go out of my way to try and capture and release indoor spiders outside, snakes are a different matter entirely…

Was I the only one who had second thoughts about reaching under the bed last night after reading the above? I think I had spiders in my dreams too- ugh.

Is this your spider? We had one like it in our doorway last week, and a friend identified it:
