Spider

All I know about this spider is that it is now dead. I hate spiders so I killed it to be sure it didn't make it into my house as so many others have. It looks different from what I have been told is a donkey spider which is related to the tarantula. We saw our first live tarantula over at MUA a few weeks ago. It was about the size of a drink coaster. And very hairy. Yuck. We have seen three squished on the road too. The donkey spiders look a little like this picture but are not hairy.
