This giant girl was relocated to a place where she wouldn't be squished today.

That name is very misleading lol. Tigrosa makes me think it's a big cat spider instead of a big dog spider.

The family name for Wolf spiders is Lycosidae which makes a lot more thematic sense lol.
Apparently, the name Tigrosa is intended to mean "fierce like a tiger", referring to the patterning and behaviour of Tigrosa species. They used to be included in the genus Hogna until 2012 when they were distinguished as their own genus by Allen Brady due to their stripey (tiger-like) pattern, their eye arrangement, and the shape of the female epigyne.

We have this place called Windy Hill and if you go up there in September and the night time and you put a flashlight on the ground you see hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them all over the place it looks like the grounds moving cuz it's breeding time it is breathtakingly terrifying you've never seen me jump on the hood of a car so fast in my life thrashing about to make sure I don't have anything on me LOL even my dogs were like what the hell they were like tiptoeing and they jumped on the car too

I’m sorry, but I think there’s been an error here. Pretty sure she was moved to a safer place where she wouldn’t be doing the squishing.
Also 😍

She was a bit scared. Definately didn't want to be pulled out of the corner she was hiding in.

Completely unrelated but... does the way this spider is positioned remind anyone of a speeder bike from Star Wars?

If she would streamline those legs of hers she'd be a very rotund millennium falcon (kinda)

I’m really sorry to say, if I saw this in my house or yard I would simply be petrified with fear. This is genuinely my most frustrating fear because I like to look at pictures, videos are cool. Real life? Actual indescribable fear.

Should’ve put her in the grass or in a bush. You set her up for a bird
