Nah, it eats the bugs. I'm leaving it be.

 

[Cook1]

Umm, that looks like one nasty spider...yeah, hairspray lighter ALL the way.

 

[CrackRabbit]

Those are cool spiders, they stay put and dont like to drop off the celing and bite you while you sleep

 

[Psycho18]

It looks like its eating something too.. Brb, I'm going to take more upclose pictures.

 

[KarenMarie]

I would be REALLY scared of that. I would probably get the b/f to move it to a safe distance.

No spray/lighter. that is just cruel.

Are they poisonous?

I usually have a kill-on-sight policy when it comes to spiders

 

[Ikonomi]

If it was a banana spider, did you perchance get stuck in that ridiculously strong web they make?

I'm going to do a seach and see if it is a banana spider.

 

[Psycho18]

I guess I was wrong, its something else.

Hey!

That's my cousin. be nice to him....get him some grub pronto!

IIRC he's some kind of orb weaver?

 

[samgau]

Looks like it is a banana spider... maybe is a subspecies ... only the coloring seems different....

 

[Psycho18]

Does anyone know what kind of spider it is?

orb weaver family? That tell-tale "drawing" in the center of the web.

-edit- a little googling - confirmed orb weaver. and apparently there are a whole lot of different species.

What state are you in?

bah, I was wrong. Thank you for confirming the right answer.

 

[spidey07]

heh, I just covered a few thousand different spiders.

I think that little "writing" on the web makes them the "writing spider?"

Still searching. I'd like to know as well as I've seen these guys before. They're really cool.

good info here..

hehe you knew someone had to do it

 

[SWScorch]

if I saw that thing, I would kill it within a heartbeat. I don't care how many bugs it eats, I'd rather deal with a hundred mosquitos than braving the chance that thing would crawl on me as I'm sleeping.

 

[screw3d]

That's a cool spider! Don't kill it
