Re: Spiders- arachnophobia!

Clearing old wood out of a barn last week I was approached at speed by 4 very large black ones (bigger than any I've ever seen). My Swiss girlfriend is convinced they were black widows (no matter what I said she wouldn't believe contrary) but they ran far too fast for me to catch and kill. Is that normal here?
My skin is crawling and my heart is racing on this topic but I just have to know... how big is the biggest... Ive seen huntsmans the size of a plate and that is just plain wrong - if there is anything bigger then say 5 cm diameter Id like to prepare myself... ie down in the cellar am I going to turn around and see some furry spider staring at me and let out a scream louder then any Swiss person has ever heard!!!!
