Has anyone noticed an increase in the amount of VERY large spiders lately? I live in Rockburn Commons and my townhouse backs up to the woods off of Montgomery Road. We have these HUGE spiders eveywhere! I wasn't killing them at first, but now my kids (and me...) are scared to walk out our back door! I can't seem to get rid of them. I know that they are necessary to keep the bug population down, but jeez, they are kind of freaking me out! I don't know much about different spider species, but I put up a few pictures. If anyone knows anything about them, please let me know!
