I like orb spiders. Florida's banana spiders are orbs. Here's a photo I took of a cousin of the banana spider, and the one's like that huge one in Australia...

I love nature and all that, but big spiders like that give me the fuckin' creeps.


These camel spiders are especially grotesque.  They can grow as large as a dinner plate.

My wife and son get freaked out when we have spiders the size of a dime in our garage or yard, I can't imagine what they'd do if they saw any of these big ones!

I'm not a big fan of the spiders. They freak me out. I saw a couple variations of the banana spider in NC. Things were huge.

That picture of the soldiers holding the camel spider is actually two spiders. the biggest camel spiders found were about six inches or so. So unfortunately the pic is real but it's two spiders, the bottom one is bitting the top ones ass. How do I know this you ask? Monsterquest on Histroy channel. yesterdays episode was actually on giant spiders. And last time I checked arachnids only have 8 legs. Grin

Hopefully the spider doesn't eat your supper or you may have to eat his mosquitos just to teach him a lesson!  Cheesy

Yeah, I know that's two spiders.  They're still friggin' gigantic.

A 6" span is REALLY big.
