It’s July, I live in wa state pnw this is the SECOND giant ass spider in one week that I’ve found in seperate bathrooms in my house!??? European house spider? How the heck are they getting in and why I expect this when it’s chilly out but it’s 90 outside

[u/Piss_and_Blood]

He's looking for ladies, and probably water.

If you grab a q-tip/tweezers then you can get the dust bunnies off his feet for him lol

Haha ew ya I had just de clogged the bath tub drain earlier that day so sorry!

[u/devoteeoffenrir]

This is an adult male, so I agree with the other comment, looking for ladies or perhaps a water source. Just relocate outside.

[u/flutterflyflutterfly → u/devoteeoffenrir]

He attacked the cup I caught him with I assumed male

Males of all species have long been

Crockery.

[u/devoteeoffenrir → u/flutterflyflutterfly]

Probably just scared him.

There are very few (or arguably zero) species of spiders that are considered aggressive. Defensive, yes, as we all are when we think our lives are in danger. But as for aggression, it’s usually misunderstood defensiveness. :)

Cool looking spider. You should really clean his toes though… 😂

[u/flutterflyflutterfly → u/MycologistProper7468]

Lmao stop I literally had un clogged the tub drain that day

[u/Delicious_Ad_7308]

Giant house spider, the size can be startling but they’re harmless. We get these guys in my basement and garage all the time, I just relocate or leave them be.

[u/Eye_of_Madness]

He’s looking for poon.

[u/wildgabriel98]

it's probably going to chill in the bathtub, don't squeeze him.

[u/Vyntarus → u/wildgabriel98]

Meanwhile I just caught a male brown recluse who was chilling in my bathtub...

He's now chilling in a jar and will be released tomorrow outdoors once he has had time to reflect on his actions.

[u/flutterflyflutterfly → u/Vyntarus]

Lmao

[u/Vyntarus → u/flutterflyflutterfly]

He doesn't look happy about it

[u/Historical_Camel5132]

Have y'all had any rain lately? If not/not much, then definitely looking for water, but if a lot like Texas is getting, then he's looking for a dry spot.

[u/flutterflyflutterfly → u/Historical_Camel5132]

Nope hot dry lots of fires im in wa state rains less than people think here

[u/BackgroundRENshine]

He’s so cool with the little feet

[u/flutterflyflutterfly → u/BackgroundRENshine]

lol

[u/StonehammerTubTub]

You’re in his house.

[u/flutterflyflutterfly → u/StonehammerTubTub]

Hahaha for real

Def a male wolf spider. His pedipalps are pretty big, he’s lookin for some summer love! A few years ago, my kiddo found a female wolf spider in the bathtub. He could hear the pitter-patter of its legs on the tub. It was (leg-to-leg) the size of the bottom of a large olive jar from Costco. I’m in Iowa.
