Very cool that it was a banana spider. They make really beautiful webs.


I still hate spiders.

edit: Here's a picture of the golden silk orb-weaver, commonly referred to as a banana spider

Have you ever walked into a banana spider web? It's like fishing line. Really strong web that is not conducive to panic and easy fleeing.

Eh. I hate this thread. :\

This reminds of WoW over in Terrokar where you have to investigate that Spider-infested area with all the webs over everything. Didn't help that there were people trapped in that mess.

Ugh why didn't they go extinct when the asteroid hit them.

God damn it GAF, I hate that pic of the spider with all of these eggs on it, ugh. Anyhow, I was expecting it to be some sort of man eating sized spider, I'm kinda disappointed to be honest :l

Spiders are actually very important to maintaining a balanced ecosystem.

Nevertheless, they scare the fucking shit out of me. I don't know why I always click on these threads :(

It's part of a genus of spiders, and a type of creature who use their bodies to close their burrows. That crazy ass Mayan pattern is NATURAL.

Something is wrong with Spiders.

It's EXACTLY like an alien species came to Earth and said, "We should pretend to be insects. They are plentiful and none of the HUMANS would note that we have arrived. TO CONSUME THEIR CHEEKS."

And they pretended to be insects but fucked it up a little BECAUSE THEY ARE CHEEK EATING ALIEN MONSTERS.

FYI, scientists believe that on average there is a spider within 3 feet of you.

There very well could be one crawling down your back right now (or getting ready to, just hovering right above you getting ready to drop down).

Also there may be spiders in your bed sheets.

Edit: almost forgot about the possibility of spiders in your shoes.

I always shake my shoes out because of this lol I don't mind having spiders in the house as long as they just chill on their web. You want to eat insects in my house knock yourself out. You also forgot the swallowing spiders in your sleep part :p

Used to have two of these... gorgeous spiders. It's called a Chiliean Rose Hair tarantula. They're super friendly, they'll crawl all over you and never bite. They rape the shit out of crickets, too.
