These 12 Biggest Spiders are What Nightmares are Made of

Poecilotheria Rajaei Spider

The Poecilotheria Rajaei spider is a relatively new addition to the list. It was discovered only in 2009. This does not make this spider any less scary though. After all, it is really huge. Its leg span is at 8 inches. The worst part is that this type of spider is the one that you can easily come in contact with if you are visiting Sri Lanka. It lives in trees, rocks and inside people’s houses.
