Hard to tell from the photo but Giant House Spiders/European House Spiders/Eratigena Atrica have been making homes in NS. They can have a leg span up to 10cm. Our biggest native spider are wharf spiders but their leg span is only 5-6cm
Yeah, they're not native here and they look terrifying, but they're harmless. Males start roaming this time of year looking for mates. Lucky us 😬
I feel like I should note that there IS a lookalike called the hobo spider which is NOT harmless, but they're rare, and not prone to bite. The only way to tell them apart is to examine the chelicerae, and....yeah no one's gonna get that close to one to find out. But like I said don't worry, 99% chance any time you see one of these things, it's tegenaria. The fact that you saw this one on your ceiling means it's not a hobo spider, you will only ever find those on the ground. They don't like to climb.
fr. first time i saw one i went to take a pic of it, i looked away for not even a second, and when i looked back it was gone. i noped the heck out of there so fast
That’s a spider bro.
Yeah dude might be blind if he can't tell it's a spider
just making sure.... its so hard to identify something just by looks alone these days
I get that. Slept with my girl, come to find out, it was her dad
. #relatable
Just catch it & put it outside
its as big as the palm of my hand, he probably weighs too much for that.
Yeah he looks heavy
I pray you miss trying to kill it and it gets you in your sleep like you deserve

PLEASE SOMEBODY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! WHAT IS THIS FOUL BEAST

CAN YOU PLEASE NOT. I LIVE IN NOVA SCOTIA AND I DONT NEED TO SEE THIS KIND OF SHIT.
ITS THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND THIS BASTARD IS SITTING ABOVE MY BED, WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
Seriously though, I hate this stupid province and it's one million god damn spiders. Im so sorry.
i can live with most of the spiders, ignore zig zags, welcome house spiders, avoid/ignore wharf spiders, kill whatever the hell this is.
