When I was about 13 I eas riding down a trail behind my dad and his buddy. Said buddy had a jump seat on the back rack that faced backwards, the old man was sitting in that.

They went on the right side of a tree, I went left. Doing about 15. One of these frickers had a web, and the huge arse spider was conveniently positioned to lqnd right on my nose. I left the four wheeler. By the time I hit the ground my hat, sunglasses, and shirt were gone.Four wheeler slammed into a pine, dad almost pissed himself laughing, and I still catch shite for it.

The Brown widow has that unmistakable orange belly. Bastards are always hanging on my back porch.

The best thing about those spiders is when you ride your ATV through the woods in September and they have webs that seem like they stretch 20 feet and then once you hit it, that big arse spider is crawling all over you.

It's super terrifying to the guy with the spider on his shoulder and hilarious to everyone watching the dude fly off his four wheeler and run in circles while swatting himself.

And then you never know if you ever managed to kill the thing or if it's still crawling on you somewhere.

Brown widow looks like a black widow. Just browner

We have those things all over our yard, funny thing about them is when they build across a walk way they will make it above head level after getting busted a few times. They don’t hurt anything and catch mosquitoes

Must be an over ripe banana spider. Brown instead of yellow.
