We have brown recluse and black widows here in Florida. We also have a variety of an orb spider which gets big. We call them banana spiders because they are yellow and black. Smaller bodies with long legs. Some will get as big as your hand although most aren’t quite that big.
They like to build webs between trees across open spaces. While hunting one time I turned a corner on a trail and walked right into one of these nests. Got a face full of the web. Saw the hand sized spider hanging about 12 inches from my face. I backed away but of course I had his web all over, so he followed me.
LOL That’s horrible. Around my NM cabin there were some huge spiders that created big webs that stretched several feet with silk that was darn near as strong as 6 lb monofilament.
