Winner
Don't annoy it or it'll pull out it's AR-15.
Then once it's riddles you with bullets it'll bite you.

There's at least one forum member who could get you a MAC 10 under five minutes, if it comes to violence with that thing.
So, a little update for you:
The spider in the OP has gone AWOL but that was the least of my concerns as a snapping turtle had made a home beneath the grass bag on my mower. I didn't realise until my dog started barking at it.
Boxed it up and shoved it in the pond across the road. It was an aggressive little bugger.
And then yesterday I went to our old house to cut the grass and almost walked into this thing:
Apparently it's a Yellow Garden Spider. Something like that can't have a harmless name like 'garden spider' so it's now known as 'Giant Death Bringer'. Apparently the bite is similar to a bee sting. I set the house on fire and went home.

Need a close-up shot of the body to be sure but:
This almost landed on my head yesterday. It's currently living somewhere in my garage. I live in Tennessee where so there's a whole host of nasty critters it could be. Black Widows and Brown Recluse spiders are pretty common although it's neither one of those.
I'm also pretty sure it isn't a queen wasp and I'm trying to find out if it has a letterbox.
Any ideas?
Job done, its the only way.

It's a JUST BURN IT WITH FIRE spider. They're quite common.
