It may not be the world's largest spider, but I remember years ago seeing a British house spider which made a sheet like web about four foot long, and six inches wide, with a foot long funnel at one end.
The spider itself was about 4 and a half to 5 inches across. What happened to it I don't know, but that was the largest British spider I have ever seen. We are in for a long hot summer - so be warned!!!!

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.
LOOK AT A PICTURE!

The goliath birdeater tarantula of South America is arguably the biggest spider in the world. The venomous night hunter can grow to be one foot (30 centimeters) long and sports one-inch (2.5-centimeter) fangs.
