Spiders EEEKKK

banana spider









I went on a walk through the park and the front fence line was covered with banana spiders that are consummate web builders. Their webs have a roundish or "orb" shaped center like a fishnet, and since the silk is bright yellow they are very visible.  Here in Florida, a single banana spider can place a web across a 12 foot wide trail overnight.  Even tho they are big and scary looking I think they are pretty neat. Here are some of the other critters that I have seen here at Henderson and Rocky Bayou S.P.
