Which spider is this? I am in Kanagawa prefecture. This spider is probably around 3 cm diameter.

  1. Looks to be a Japanese Hunstman spider (アシダカグモ).
    They are non-venemous, and it is said to be a privilege for a hunstman to choose your abode.

  2. Those things are everywhere around here. They’re actually pretty timid. I just leave them alone when I see them inside the house and hope that they get rid of some of the other bugs. I also hope they don’t meet my West Highland White Terrier when they’re scurrying around. I hate finding their chewed up carcasses on the floor.
