Ever seen spider up close and personal?

This creature was found in our kitchen. When we moved to Florida, I didn't exactly sign up for this - snake jumping at me in the yard, alligators in the lakes, biting ants, giant roaches, and now this! However, now we are equipped with this wonderful racket-looking bug-zapper to protect ourselves with. It enabled Eric to take picture so close.

To give an idea of this spider's size - picture taken with a nickel

That is one of the freakiest spiders I've ever seen! I DO NOT miss all of the creatures in Florida. I still jump every time I think I see a roach, but fortunately it's just my imagination because they don't exist here. YAY!
