I have a very large spider living outside on my front portch.
It looks rather like the small wooden face of a cat on its back
or a strange looking peanut in the shell. which is it? A Cat
face spider or a Peanut spider?

You could call your County's Agricultural Extension Agent and have them
come by to identify it.

Why kill it? It's just wanting a home...just like the rest of us.

Spiders are our friends they eat the annoying bugs like flies and
skeeters. If it is not in your way(like you need to walk through there),
I would leave them alone. If it was a brown recluse(fiddle back) or a
black widow it would be best to kill it as they are poisonous enough to
do harm to us. The rest get left alone. Just like I will never harm a
rat snake but depending on where I find it I may kill a rattle snake.
