This may be the biggest spider I have seen in California, about 3 inches in diameter... and he bit me. leaving a lump on my leg about 3-4 inches in diameter and caused a slight rash. also never seen a lump on me that big left by an arthropod. I let him go after this encounter. Really wondering what kind of spider he is.
Haha thank Lauren. But na, it wasn't actually that bad. I cant describe it any other way other than it was just really noticeable. Didn't even itch, thankfully.
