Holy shite, so many spiders

I grew up on the coast. I’m used to large spiders. I was not prepared for the huge amount of spiders I saw along the trail.
Not going to lie, even though I know the spiders probably couldn’t do much harm (not super dangerous to people I believe) it was still super stressful. Made the trail seem like an obstacle course.
I think my arachnophobia I had when I was a toddler is rekindled

I’ve got a hunting spot that is loaded with banana spiders and garden spiders. I’m talking a shite load. They get all over me and the tractor every time I mow it.
Had one crawling up my chest last year and like to killed myself trying to get get it off

Does anyone else remember the year after Katrina and how bad the Banana spiders were? I remember you could sight down a powerline and it looking yellow there were so many webs between the neutral and upper hot. Like there were as many webs as room for them. Forget walking through the woods without hold a branch in front of you.

My little brother (gone now) hated fricking spiders. Never forget the white tail scouting trip we went on at Indian Bayou ( N of Sherburne WMA). We jumped a nice buck that day, but there were so many huge banana spiders. We were waking into webs all day and wiping them off our face. He was cussing up a storm, lol.

Banana spiders are so fricking cool. Do u know u can tell along the rivers who much flooding you are going to get by how high they spin their webs in the woods.
That said I hate walking through their webs u never find the spider until he crawls across your face.
They are good bugs though and eat a ton of mosquitoes and biting flies

Outside my daughter’s window was a banana spider and its web.
We watched it spin the web and then nail flies all night.
The kids loved it.
The web would move any time a fly would hit it and the spider went quick-like tk go get it.

We put two sticks on either side of the front wheel well on our four wheeler after a few too many early morning facials from webs built across the trails overnight. I get an icky feeling just thinking about it.

Let a 50 yr old man walk into a spider web before sunrise on his way to the deer stand and they become black belt karate masters

We fish an area off the west pear called Peach Lake, one summer the canopy was nothing but Banana Spiders stretching across the cut. It was basically a ceiling of spiders.

Don’t remember many spiders in Peach Lake……but a lot good memories hammering the woodies back in there!

Two of my young sons would follow me through the woods trails on our dirt bikes. I had to carry a thin 4 foot long branch, stop, slice one end of a web with huuuuge spider in the center, move on only to repeat that exercise for the length of the trail. The wayback was clear. We did see some spiders that looked like Guinness Book record size. Spiders are just creepy
