Is this the new PC name of the super hero?
Looks like a garden spider but they are usually black and yellow....put him/her outside to eat lots of bugs!!!!
Update... there is a brown garden spider...not poisonous and good about eating bugs...

Maybe? I'm worried it was a recluse since up close it looks kinda like the classic violin pattern.
I've never heard of a motorized antenna before. Movable satellite dishes sure, but not antennas. Very fancy!
I remember these! We had a slightly different one and it was really noisy as it moved around the "clock".

I'll take that over a House Centipede.
as long as no violin shape on its back you are good. that would mean brown recluse
I know that was what scared me cuz it kinda looked like it did but hard to tell in my shitty photo I took while half panicking

You can go to spiderID.com, upload the picture and get some help. And if you have an Android phone, Google Lens is often a good tool for identification of a lot of things.
At first glance it looks like a Nursery Web Spider. Wikipedia had a fun fact about nursery web spiders:
The female spider sometimes attempts to eat the male after mating. The male, to reduce the risk of this, often presents the female with a gift such as a fly when approaching in the hope that this will satisfy her hunger. Sometimes, this gift is a fake present intended to fool the female.[4] Males may wrap the fake gift in silk, to deceive the female to mate. Females can detect the fake gift and terminate mating, negating the male's deception in not giving a real gift.
I don't do bugs. Unless you are a ladybug or a honey bee if you come into my personal space you're getting flushed down the toilet.
Interesting! Weird part was (this is an easier story to tell in person lol) I noticed a web with a small dark black spider chilling in the middle of it and there was 3 egg sacs around it so I exterminated that and I was about to walk away and out came that giant spider as seen above... and it was like it came after me after I killed homeboy. And it just sat there with its front legs perched at me.

We went to one a few years ago when we were visiting my brother in law and family. I can't recall if it was when he was stationed in Maryland or Cape May though. I do recall it was basically on par with Dairy Queen in terms of quality of food. So mid tier for a fast food joint.
Brown recluse? Yikes. Time to move...

I have a standing deal with bugs. If you're outside when you belong, I leave you alone. If you come inside to my house, you end up squashed.
OMG hell yes I remember these. You turned the dial in the direction you wanted the antenna to turn & it made a noise that sounded like gears grinding. Or at least my grandmother's did.
Shit I'm old
