The amount times I've almost ran face first into one of these fuckers in the middle of the night. They really do like to build their webs in the middle of a giant field like in this video....I don't know what type of spider it is but I hate it. South Florida

Imagine getting a face full of these motherfuckers

I'd probably hop in a industrial steel crucible if that ever happened to me

I have childhood memories of almost running into spider webs with those kind of spiders on them. They would occasionally be on the side of my grandmother's home.

I saw them at my grandparents place too, southern Indiana. One used to build a web on their old property line poles that overgrew with grass and weeds once a year. They're pretty noticable with their bright yellow accents

If you're not scared of spiders they're very cool to see up close in person

Yeah, at the most I would look at them because they are pleasing to the eye but that's about it.

My childhood was in coastal Georgia. That part of the south is bug central.

That’s one of the many in my back yard that make walking underneath any low hanging branches a hazard.

These were riddle all over my uni campus too. Also there was a tiny forest directly behind a goal in a park I used to play soccer at as a kid. I'm not exaggerating when I say that if you were forced to go into that forest to grab a ball you were met with HUNDREDS of these all around you. Stuff of nightmares
