The Goliath Bird-Eating Tarantula (that doesn't actually eat birds) is the biggest spider in the world. It can grow to about the size of a dinner plate.
A bird spider is another term for a Goliath birdeater, a species of large tarantula, Latin name Theraphosa blondi.
As the name states, the Goliath is capable of eating small birds but that is rare. Also, it eats insects, some frogs, small snakes, small lizards, bats (rarely), other tarantulas, scorpions, mice, and rats. And ironicly, it has to watch out for larger birds, larger snakes, larger mammals, and most of all, the tarantula hawk(which is a big wasp, not an actual hawk)
It depends on what you mean by "largest". As far as weight, the heaviest known current arachnid is the Theraphosa blondi (Goliath bird eating spider) of South America. As far as leg span, the closest contender to the T. blondi would be the Heteropoda maxima (Giant huntsman spider).
