What is it?

Recommended Posts

OK all you biology/entomology people, what kind of spider has taken up residence in our old packing area at skydive Delmarva? This "little" guy is about 4" across. Cool, but it's scaring the whuffos.
Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off.

Yeah, me too! I'm perfectly fine with spiders of any shape and size ........unless one is "on" me. Then nothing else matters but getting the dam thing "off" of me! Don't even matter if I break stuff ......or hurt myself .......or others!:P

If you live in Florida you are living in the banana spider capital of the US.;)



No kidding. I ended up throwing myself backwards off an ATV several times upon realizing that my face was just inches from colliding with one of these monsters. Spiders don't bother me, but catching one in the face going 20mph down a trail is a rude awakening.

They can bite and it gives you a bit of a welt but it's not harmful, just annoying. I've had worse mosquito bites.

If you'd rather not kill it, usually just destroying their web will make them move. Might take doing it a time or two, but we found after clearing them from a trail they would usually move elsewhere. Can only imagine it gets annoying constantly rebuilding!

On a serious note... but not too serious... They have 'em here in Japan too... but I ain't never seen no bananer trees here... stoopid spahhders....
Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.
