Spotted a HUGE SPIDER near my house!!
Hello everybody, This is not about art but something random I want to share. Today, I spotted a huge spider near my house. I haven't seen a spider this big in my life so I captured it. The spider was (and still) under a leaf of a banana tree which is inside the residence of our neighbors.

The images are not so high quality as I captured them with a mobile and the tree was under the shade when I captured the images so they are pretty dark.
Here are the images --
The legs of this spider were not less than 3.5 - 4 inches.
There is a lot of these spiders in the nearest jungle but I haven't seen them from this close. I have seen one sitting in the center of its beautifully perfect web but that was way up high :D
Spiders are cool! Don't kill them!
I donot kill :))
Back in Texas we have some spiders that look very similar. They are not poisonous... and they are very good for pest control. They are absolutely scary huge! I really enjoy life in all it's varieties. You may know better than I .... but make sure that one in your pictures isn't a Banana Spider. They are very poisonous. I thinks it's an Orb Weaver of some sort...
but I am no expert!

Damn, Didnt know about the banana spider. This one is not banana spider but I have seen the same spider before but comparatively small. Thanks for the info Tim :D
