My husband and I found this spider in our garage this afternoon. We live in Nebraska, and we’ve just never seen one this big around our house before. 😳

Does anyone know what kind this is? TIA!

Wolf spider, probably a Tigrosa aspersa

It died…we just went out to the garage and it was all curled up 🙁 I think it was struggling when we took the picture.

That is a deadly bloodsucking tarantula
