Arachnophobes, look away now.

A new species of large cave-dwelling spider, the Sierra Cacachilas wandering spider, has been discovered in Mexico.

The Sierra Cacachilas, related to the notoriously venomous Brazilian wandering spider, was found in a small mountain range outside of La Paz in Baja California Sur, Mexico.

10cm is about 3.5 inches?   They have spiders the size of dinner plates down there.

If I found that in my shower, I promise you I would refer to it as "massive".

And, if it helps, it may be venomous.

I probably wouldn't refer to it as anything, but my loved ones would probably call it "the cause of death".
