Banana Spider by grammyn

Banana Spider

I discovered this one outside my workout place. Females are usually 1-3 inches/2.5-7.6 centimeters and this one was that large. They are known to like high humidity and the 97% we had this morning seems to confirm that.
What nice detail you got

Such a interesting spider.

97% doesn't sound comfortable! And having a spider run up your leg is definitely uncomfortable, banana or not!

A big spider! Are you having lots of rain too? I saw that there was a wide swath of wet weather that hit your neck of the woods on the weather site.

Wr have had lots of rain, and surprisingly the humidity is not always going onto high temps. But some days it's just stifling. I love this spider. What a nice find.

Great find and shot, lovely detail and shadows. I could not handle such humidity anymore ;-)

Oh boy! That's a big spider. Glad it's in your area and not over here...we have very little humidity for her to want to hang out here.

very nice!

Well she would love it here. Our humidity has been sky high, too.

yikes, he looks scary
July 20th, 2021  
Utterly terrifying to me!

That's a big spider! It would be safe here- as long as it stayed outside!

@milaniet So nice of you to say Milanie
@dutchothotmailcom I think so too thanks!
@maggiemae It wasn't compfrotable at all! Fortunately he was overhead and stayed there so there was no runningup my leg!
@randystreat Yes she is and yes we are. Everyday for a week I think. Mostly just showers for an hour or two and then moving on.
@darylo Glad you like the spider. It sounds as if your weather is a lot like ours!
@ludwigsdiana So glad you like the photo! You don't get a lot of humidity living so close to the ocean?
@madamelucy she is but relatively harmless.
@koalagardens I am sure you have bigger and better in Australia Katrina!
@louannwarren I imagine it is bad all along the gulf states Lou Ann
@lesip She really is kind of pretty but then she was not moving either
@casablanca Sorry about that!
@olivetreeann I feel much the same way Ann thanks

@eudora Thanks! I thought it was beautiful as well and I also like most spiders so we share that.
