Scavenger Hunt~Bugs

I found a site that hosts a weekly scavenger hunt and I thought it would be fun to play along and hopefully to help me think outside the box! Anyway if you want to see blogs on the hunt here is the link and if you would like to join then just email Carrie and she will add you!
Today hunt is bugs but I chose a spider. Does anyone know what kind of spider this is? It was big and scary looking!
