This is the cane spider. It has a huge body and thick hairy legs.It is about the size of a tuna can. They often find their ways into your houses. It is highly recommended that you do not kill the spider because they are good for your house. This spider does not spin a web, since the spider does not spin a web the mother carries the eggs in her mouth for about a month. Instead of spinning a web the spiders hunt for food and sunlight. These spiders are reluctant to bite and run instead of defending themselves. If this spider was to bite you it would not result in any harmful problems, the bite is very small. Cats can eat this spider, but the battle between the cat in the spider does not mean the cat alwasy gets its food, the spider can get away sometimes that is why this spider only legs and not has 7 legs and not 8.
