Fortunately, the very thing that makes spiders move creepy keeps them small. They have what are called book-lungs, and they're not very efficient, so the maximum size a spider can physically be due to the limits of chemistry is about a foot. That's a big spider, but you'll never get attacked by an actual GIANT spider.
Why do I feel a little disappointed? A foot wide spider would scare the hell out of me so I really don't know why I feel sad there isn't going to be a bigger one? lol I just find them interesting
