Harry the Spider
We found one at our school in Ontario in Stoney Creek.
He's in a bug house for now as we are observing this little guy,
we have had him for 3 weeks and he has eaten 6 flies and noticed today that he is getting bigger. Not sure were to let him go or keep him but catching flies for the summer from the dog poop is not my idea of a good time . lol

He's a very cool spider.
