This is the giant wolf spider we call “Charles”.
It is about the size of a 50 cent piece and it builds a web cross our slider door every night. The web is around 3’ x 4’ in size. Every morning it is gone and rebuilt the next evening with Charles settled in the middle. He is using the light from the porch light and the slider to his advantage to capture prey.
Yeah...it’s probably a female, but my daughter named it “Charles” and that’s what we are going with.
