I’ve heard their toxin dissolves the brain, hence the “brain goo” you mention. Have you seen or heard that?

I’m with you. I don’t know why I clicked on this thread. I knew it would creep me out, but I did it anyway. Won’t be having lunch today and will bookmark this thread for its appetite suppressant value.

You can see his ‘writing’ on the right side of the picture, but I don’t think I have ever seen one quite as big as the picture you posted in #1. They make webs in the woods from tree to tree. Riding a horse through the woods is particularly difficult.

I’ve seen some huge garden spiders in South Georgia.

Joe,
I’m not saying you may have an arachnid problem, BUT.

Gee, if the guy puts his hand 100 feet away, and the spider right up to the lens, he can make it look 20 feet long!

The article says, “up to four inches long.”

Used to have those all over one portion of my yard when I lived in the Panhandle.

The biggest problem was not knowing the webs were there and walking into them in twilight, then seeing all these bigass spiders all over.

Arachnophobia strikes again!
