This spider is the biggest one I have ever seen. My poor friend and guide had to suffer through waiting for me as I stopped visiting the shrines to get a shot of this marvelous Banana spider. Loved all the angles with this spider!
While I was photographing, a couple was also trying to get a shot with their very nice camera, but to no success (and the wife was super afraid of our lovely subject). I showed her my shots, and she asked if I could do the same with her camera--and so I did! Hope she gets over her fear--I love spiders.
will google banana spiders - have not heard of them
