The Goliath spider, a species of tarantula found in South America is the size of a dinner plate. Unlike other spiders, this one will actually hiss at you. Yes, it can make sounds(!) It feeds on birds, cheeseburgers and pizza. It is highly aggressive and will bite without conscience or mercy. Also, it can attack from a distance by flicking special hairs from its body at anything it considers a threat (that means you). These hairs are extremely irritating to the skin, and were they to get in your eyes, nose or mouth, it would hurt. A lot. For years, I’ve felt the rainforest wasn’t being destroyed quickly enough.

Here in Florida, it is downright SHOCKING how big some spiders can be, and yes, "banana spiders" are HUGE, I have seen more than one that was almost as big as my fist, I am not kidding.
Sorry I didn't answer your question with specific sizes. Nevermind measuring them - I don't even want to be in the same zip code when one shows up.
