That's not a spider.
That's a fricking tree lobster.

Banana spider. Let it be. Eat insects

I also grew up calling them writing spiders, in GA. I hate spiders but I leave these alone because at least they have the common courtesy to put a big zipper-like signal in the middle of the web to keep birds and humans and whatever else from walking through them. And I appreciate that. That's the kind of evolution I can encourage.
I've never been bitten by one, but I've read the bite is pretty nasty. Not like a recluse or widow, but still above-average as spider bites go.

Never seen so many of them things in my life as we did during the 2016 flood, navigating wooded areas of AP trying to get to people.

Banana spider, they will bite but rarely and don’t hurt much. Leave him. Not only do they eat bad bugs they will also predict weather for you if you know how to read them, but there is nothing like walking in the woods and sudden realize ones crawling on your face or something. 100 times at least, never been bitten but may have taken a few days off my life. Lol.
I miss them used to have tons in the yard. They left when the bees left. Must have had some relationship with them

I think they all moved to my house lol.
Got a bunch of them around my place. I leave them alone unless I happen to catch some type of insect and I’ll toss it into the we to give the girl a free meal.

You ever walk in its web and you will do a juddy chop!

mandatory they put webs across every fricking path we have on the deer lease...

You haven’t lived until you’ve run through one of those webs on a four wheeler in the pitch black headed to a deer stand in the early morning.

My daughter catches them in the woods and brings them up to the house trying to get them to make a web on the porch so she can watch from the kitchen table. Never works
