Unexpected visitors

(cross-posted to [livejournal.com profile] urban_nature)
Last week, on returning from dinner out, we found a big hunting spider in the garage, next to the door to the house.

Two days later, I found a big hunting spider in the bathroom closet. My husband thought it was the same spider, but I thought the one in the garage was bigger.

At the end of the day, I trapped spider #2 in a cup and put it in the back yard. The dog followed eagerly, but I don't think he caught it.

The reasonably sized photos are linked to Flickr, where you can see huge versions for full detail.
