Hey.... When you were in the Phillippines, did you see huge bright yellow spiders called "banana spiders"?

My jarhead friend (he was a medic) told me they had big yellow spiders that would drop down out of the trees, but I wonder if he was pulling my leg about them being yellow!

Ooooh yeah...those things were just nasty... you remember Alien?...some got to be about the size of that hand-thingy that sticks it's egg down your throat...

I almost walked through a web at dusk,...something caught my eye, and I stopped about six inches from the web, the banana spider spread out head high...I swear it coulda wrapped its legs around my head and done an Alien on me...I've seen them catch small birds in their webs...
