I think it was something close to the spiders in Harry Potter or a little bigger. Not city-destroying size, but easily bigger than a person.

Sounds like Arachnid.

I do believe that might be it! Thanks!
So I saw part of a movie a while ago, and even though I have no real interest in watching it (being somewhat arachnophobic), I'm still curious as to what it was called. I know at least part of it took place in a jungle, and the spider itself wasn't seen much (at least in the part that I remember). There's a group that goes looking for it, and at one point, webs shoot out of the trees without the spider being seen and someone gets hit in the face. The only other thing I remember is that some researcher finds the spider's web and starts examining it, but the spider sneaks up on him (only showing the shadow). The group finds him tangled in the web later, and I think he tells them that the spider is using him as a host for baby spiders before he dies, kind of like in The Mist. I can't find it in the Giant Spider section. It might have been a Sy Fy movie, but I'm not sure.
