Someone asked me about it. She said she found a large red spider on her leg, somewhere in PA. Anyone know of any spiders like this?

Could be a sow bug killer... I can't think of the latin right now, but I've found them up to 1.5", which can seem huge if you're not expecting it. They're also quite sinister looking... big ol' jaws...

I've got 2 males and a female living in a deli cup together.
