I live in Charleston, SC, and found this very large spider chilling in a very large intricate web in our gazebo this evening. Below are all the pictures (apologize for the quality...it's the best I could do with my phone).
We live in the United States—Charleston, SC. The spider itself is brown with some lighter-brown markings. Its legs are light brown, with some brown/black bulges. It seems like there might be a baby spider in the corner. And this spider is quite large, and its web has pretty much taken over our gazebo.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
