This is the biggest spider I’ve ever seen in Northern California.  It is somewhere between brown and gray.  The tips of its legs are a lighter color – almost orange.  It appears to only have two eyes. It’s legs are a little hairy.  It’s abdomen is not hairy as much as velvety or felt-like.  It has the basic body-shape of a classic ‘tarantula,’ but I have no idea what it is.

Do you know what this thing is?  Did you find a similar one?  If so, please comment.

It’s frustrating that google results for searches related to this totally fail.  There seems to be no comprehensive online resource for identifying bugs. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to identify bugs with the internet and gotten nowhere.  So far, it just can’t be done I guess.
