how is that even biologically possible for an insect to be that size? I thought the use of spiracles limited the size of insects to just a couple inches.

Since this little guy meant business, no pics. I think I know how bomb disposal guys feel now.

Nervous, very nervous.

The Master Gardener program had a segment on pest critters and the skunk expert said to throw a drop cloth over the trap because skunks don't want to be all that close to skunk spray either, so they won't spray if they are in a confined space. The caveat to that is if it's a teenager skunk, because like all teenagers, "Yee Haw! Check out mah new toy!" SSSSSSPPPPPPRRRAAAAYYY! "Hot damn, Cletus, do it again!" So your mileage may vary in that case.

But, you'd have the check out line to yourself if you made a hat out of it:

Her husband looked in a something was looking back, so the spider was removed by an emergency nurse practitioner. She said: "It was alive and very wriggly. It was quite big too."

Sounds familiar

There's something wonky about his hand; it might be a forced perspective thing.

Here is a bigger version. At first I didn't notice the difference; I was so focused on the critter.The hand and arm in the foreground do look a little bigger, I bet you're right, the kid seems to be angling back a bit.

That pretty blue will contrast nicely with the fire...

I wanted to post this in "Wildlife, living next to nature" but was afraid I'd trigger too many people. :shock:
This lovely orb-weaver setup a nice trap in front of a backyard floodlight:

...and soon after dark caught a visitor (last few secs of the video are nice and close if you want to see that)

and returned to her start position with a well packed meal:
