In my defense.....that's a BIG spider for Michigan[X(]....I've seen bigger in Virginia and California but it boils down to this....I HATE SPIDERS. I bombed this basement twice in the last month with three canisters per treatment....you'd THINK NOTHING could live down here with the poison residue all over the place BUT NOOOOOOOO.....I gotta find a BIG spider going up the wall.

I just looked your spider up.....must'a hurt when it bit you. It's in the Tarantuila family and normally doesn't attack humans unless threatened (this is per a science document, I'm sure you beg to differ). They say it feels like a wasp sting.
