Guest Andrea Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 [image][/image] [image][/image] Was going out to my stand with a bag of corn yesterday afternoon and this critter was in my path. She had several male "suitors" in the web with her. Took up the entire width of the trail. I know there's nothing there for scale...but she's about the size of my hand.

Haven't seen those spiders around here either. [/ QUOTE ] Not sure if they got eaten "afterwards" but yes...they were quite busy taking turns with her. Those spiders are everywhere down here!!!! It's so much fun to drive thru one of those webs on a 4-wheeler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shutter Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Re: Almost walked into this..... we have those down here also, I always called them "banana spiders" when growing up.. this one's web spanned all the way across a trail in a nearby park. They can spin an extremely large web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I left her there since she was so "busy". I figured we ought to have another hurricane before hunting season starts and that should tear down the web.

Smitteken Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Re: Almost walked into this..... Thats a shooter. I hate spiders so much. I always carry a stick in front of me in the early bow season, and twirl it in a circle to knock down any web. I stomp the **** out of them. Oooowwwwaaahhhh!
