Spider Species? Massive sucker!

Gotta be careful with those fuckers too. The females carry their babies around on their backs and if you squash one you'll have 1000 vengeful spider babbys scattered around your house

How many get away when momma get fire bombed?

Sometimes a scorch mark on the wall or floor can be deemed, shall we say…worth it.
 
Found this around the back of the house last year. It was in a web that spanned 2ft x 4ft. It lived a few weeks before it made an egg sack and died.

Love those gals. Orb weaver. Big, beautiful bugs. The first time I met one my brother and I were chasing each other down the rows between soy beans at a farm in Iowa. I pulled up short just before running into it and it's web. Marvelous creatures.
 
I'm still getting used to the local fauna here, but I was delighted a month ago when the spider from the cute spider meme came to visit me at my home office.

In my basement I've occasionally found house centipedes. I'll let you google them if you like. They look terrifying and metal as fuck, and while they have a bite that is very painful for humans, they are efficient predators of other, nastier multi-legged vermin.

They are welcome here anytime.

I'd trade a wolf spider for a banana spider.

We have banana spiders hatching as I type. Fukkers will spin a web across a stream, spans twelve feet or so, when your canoe carries you through one it wraps around your face giving you a close up view of what the spider had intended for dinner.

There's usually 2-3 of those in my backyard every night from Spring to Fall. With all the tall stuff (trees, climbing wall, etc), sometimes the webs are 20ft wide. The biggest has only been half that size.... so far. Its crazy they build a fresh web every single night.

I htink it is a Yellow garden spider.

I didn't actually see it's egg sack hatch, I did see a mound of babies on the same leaf a few days later. There must have been several hundred of them.

Saw my first black widow up in Shasta.

Those are the one spider that dies on sight. We've got them all over the place in Lake county...and they just LOVE dark cool places you stick your hands where you can't see shit, like sprinkler valves.

Ughy, YUCK!
 
Ok, I thinks spiders are cool but…
Black Widows freak me out. They are toxic.

Edit, ask Vincent Price.
