Large Pisaurina mira? - Pisaurina mira -

Fairfield, Somerset County, Maine, USA
July 18, 2012
Size: +/-20mm body

A big docile spider that I almost knelt on while installing a drip-edge.

Assuming it's a female, and maybe she's stuffed full of eggs?
It let me handle it and move it to safety...

...please frass if this one (or others) do not help The Guide.
