I once saw my 2.11m tall best friend running through the field like a startled antelope because one of these had ended up on his shirt.
Alargeseagull
aw a banana spider, i love those guys. they make the coolest golden webs
flutterprincess
That one looks quite harmless, I must say. Still wouldn't want to even be in the same building with it tho
Mymumsaysno
Ok watching that actually made it seem less scary. Maybe the fire was avoidable after all?
Acentius
I thought the way he swings his 2 arms in front in such large arcs was funny.

My hip hurts every time I see this
VindictiveRidge
Same here. I can just about feel the dull thud. Crashing out the window afterward seems less terrible somehow.
MexImgurian
I think that was the intention, to break straight out the window and he missed by inches!

When bugs get to a certain size I deem them more animal than bug so they get a pass. Like with Mantises and some Beetles.

Aww... thanks for noticing

I didn't know @TarantulaDan has an account here, I've been using this gif from 'em for quite a while:

Yeah I was contacted on my YouTube page and came to have a look. I'm glad people use the gifs, they make me laugh haha

Please to explain?

Elaboration how so?

Im wondering about the reaction pic? Where it's from and if it's related to the original post it if it's just a reaction face.

I think spiderman would be cooler if instead of shooting out webs he shot out tiny spiders. Imagine getting covered in a thousand spiders?
arbition
Maybe he'd be like Dr. Bees
Jimmygarn
Easy there, Satan.
Nefel
Kaine can speak to spiders.
There was also an enemy who was made of lots of spiders wearing people's skin.
Nefel
Also, one time he scared a bank robber with a hostage by claiming he was "summoning the spiders". That was pretty great.

Banana spider, look like they are spawn from hell but they are harmless.
thyfartismurder
Ive always thought they lokked cool
MatthewThomas21
Until your biking through the Florida woods and have one end up on your face
iDrinkDrano
I dreamt a bunch of these were much longer and their legs ended in shapes akin to meathooks. Had a sleep terror my bed was full of them.
AriBoBari
So is this how we measure how big a spider is now?
RyukiWong
PrfctDrk
:)
Dagordae
Which kind? There are a lot of different spiders called 'Banana spiders', at least one of which is notoriously aggressive and venomous.
ItsMrThomas
I think the one you're thinking of is the Brazilian Wandering Spider which hides in crates of bananas. This is an orb weaver
dangershell
Banana spiders aren't harmless
ImNotAnOrange
they scare the fuck out of people who happen to be under banana trees, thats not entirely harmless
whatkindofpasta
This is obviously some strange usage of the word "harmless" that i hadn't previously been aware of
UnremarkablyInteresting
Just like Grandma.
sickntiredofbeingsickntired
Fuuuuuuuck no they aren't harmless

Hey Siri, define harmless.

Banana spiders do a shit ton of damage to your flesh.
AmazingBilldo
Yea, Banana(live in bananas) spiders are one of the few venomous tarantulas. Black in color iirc
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
Different "banana" spider, more properly called Brazilian wandering spider. This is an orb weaver, harmless and docile.
MrsBananaGrabber
in FL they call these banana spiders but they actually aren't, this is an orb weaver. Real banana spiders are actually very dangerous.
boopysnoot
Guess where I'm from?
mccar7hy
Nice try, banana spider
SnackMasterRanger
Banana spiders or Brazilian wandering spiders are the most venomous spiders.
dinosnore
Until you run face-first into one of their webs. Source: I ran face-first into one of their webs.
GreenFox
I don't think "harmless" is the right word. Maybe not harmful to us, but they're still predators.
ImSorryThatIWasBornIdentifyingAsTheSexThatIActuallyAm
Last I checked, they absolutely can bite you but their venom isn't the worst.
DocWino
All spiders are venomous. Some just can't bite humans.
ImSorryThatIWasBornIdentifyingAsTheSexThatIActuallyAm
I'm pretty sure these can
Abeyll
Because it's an orb weaver. Real banana spider name is the Brazilian Wandering Spider. The most dangerous spider on the world.
SocialMediaMakesUsLessSocial
The one whose venom induces a rock hard boner before you die?!
Abeyll
Yup, that one
Soulren
Had a friend who wanted to die by getting bitten by one of those things then fucking as many people as he could before death. Legendary.
Elonth
That is not a Banana spider. Actual Banana spiders (from south america) will paralize you in 1 bite and you will asficiate with a pain boner

It's an Orb-weaver
Ralpheroo
is it your pet? in my home country they just chill on the power lines
CanineHelpYou
Was just about to say! Orb weavers look terrifying but delightful to have in your garden! Ours caught a ton of grasshoppers for us.
iLynux
They catch all sorts of annoying little pests, and are beautiful to look at. From afar.
OneCraftyHooker
Their webs are so cool and their colors too. I haven't seen any this year but I have had some in my pumpkin vines before. Really awesome.
RaisedByTurnips
I really want one for my garden, garage, house... but I don't think the wife/local cats would allow it
PainGwen
We've got one who has taken up residence on the side of the house at night. As long as we can see him, we're ok with it
johnnydarkside
Looks a lot like a garden spider too. My parents get those every year in her iris.
OneCraftyHooker
Where is this person? Cuz the Orb weavers here get big, but not THAT big.
RaisedByTurnips
He's in the UK. This is a pet spider
cgimw
You brought that thing here?! You fool, you've doomed us all!
Jimmygarn
"Pet spider" - what a horrifying concept.
kaztas
I live in Florida and I have had some this big before.
iamtheyaki
They huge.
vayrun
Same, I've seen tons in state parks around Tallahassee that big. Hard to walk trails without passing one every 10 or 20 steps.
OneCraftyHooker
And that's why I live where the air hurts my face half the year... I am up in Wisconsin.
Greyeyes1973
Here in Florida we call golden orb weavers banana spiders. I love them unless I walk face first into a web
jogthejewelsquickly
It seems that most of the time an imgurian reveals thier location, they are also in Florida. Lets see the demographics from an imgur cencus

Same, then I do this..

Fuckers just love to set up in nice open spaces like sidewalks, between a tree and light post...
Greyeyes1973
Is like what do they actually plan on doing once they catch a person???
Sharklaserspewpew
"Bwaaaaahahaha, Gotchu bitch!"-Spider probably...
boopysnoot
I grew up in Gainesville, they are everywhere and their webs are sticky.
confessionsofacataholic
When I visited my cousin in Gainesville years ago, she told me about them and their webs inbetween the trees, stayed way away from the trees
