Where are you located? I had a specimen on my ceiling like that earlier in the year. It looks like a Huntsman Spider of some sort. They can get really big w/ up to a 3-4" legspan.

Yeh you're right.. according to a website I just looked at.. it is a huntsman spider(Heteropoda venatoria)
I always thought they were a type of wolf spider (since there's over 2000 species) These things are all over my
house..
Would've posted link to page but didn't know if they allowed links in comment posts (to outside webpage)

Where in the US are you located? The one I had on my ceiling was tiny compared to some. Body length was a little less than a 1/4". How big are the ones you have?
