(((yellowted))) - I can understand how upsetting this would be. What an unpleasant surprise thinking it was in the cup only to find it escaped. 5 inches in a very large spider IMO. I scream when they catch me off guard, but I will kill them but it makes me very tense. Having it on your bed is even scarier.

I had one over the frame of my door - even though it was small it jumped as I was aiming for it and that sent me in a panic because it was in the bedroom. Then we have these bulb body looking spiders around the house who build circular webs like outside doorways and windows. I just hate them, especially the fast ones.
