Farking banana spiders!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Trip]

I got some massive black widows in my garage and in the crawl space. Fuckers are about to start losing the war because winter is coming.

Nothing funnier than seeing somebody walk into a spider web from a distance. The "holy shit, what the fuck is that" dance is hilarious.

miscellaneous spider webs are so common at our house lately, I routinely walk out the front door, arms a-flailing.

I can't tell one arachnid from another.

The most common spiders around our house are the Barking Fanana type.

Heh, I had my fill of Naner spiders.
When I was going through Selection you have to do land nav in the dark from midnight to 11am. So your running through the woods and every 20 ft you run into another web and you know when you've hit a banana spider because it nearly yoinks your ass back from the damn tensile strength of the web. The real indicator is the big plop you feel when it hits you in the face or comes running up the back of your neck than rappels off.
It's really bothersome at first but sooner or later you get used to it and even stop thwacking them off.

btw banana's may be freaky looking, but coming across 3 black widow's and there egg sacks (about to pop out 100+ each) on your patio is an even scarier arachnid encounter here in the sunshine state.

Thats worse then finding one of these on your door at night

Black Widows are cool! I took one in for show and tell in third grade Those suckers were everywhere in Arizona. Under the grill, in the shed, up the water faucet. BIG roaches too, and scorpions, and the occasional snake... Critters with extra legs (or none at all) don't bug me at all

Last thing that spooked me was a bat flinging itself at my head. I hit the deck, then went looking for something to bash the fucker with. It's not the fact that it was a bat, just that it was in MY house, aimed at my HEAD, and I didn't see it coming.
