WTF is that?
I believe that is a mama wolf spider (maybe dark fishing spider) packing around her litter of baby spiderlings. I took a pic of one of these camped out and feeding on a full grown cockroach a few months ago. That thing had to be about 3 - 3.5" across.
Oh yeah, saw a couple of them in my house at different times too, and even bigger than 3.5" (maybe 4" or so across). These have gotten into the city (N.O.) as of a couple of years ago. Never seen them before then.
I will find that pic and post it tonight.
Please don't.
How is that mom spider not freaking out, she has spiders all over her.
And if you saw the pic I have, it's not nearly as bad as you think.
