What spider is that?

[WannaBeHillBilly]

The South American Goliath birdeater (Theraphosa blondi) is the world's largest spider, according to Guinness World Records. Itslegs can reach up to one foot (30 centimeters) and it can weight up to 6 oz. (170 grams).
And...
Can a Goliath Birdeater kill you?
If these hairs embed in an animal's skin or eyes, they cause itching and discomfort. Although venomous with inch-long fangs, the Goliath Birdeater's bite will not kill a person. It will, however hurt quite a bit, and has been described as somewhere between the pain of a wasp sting and hammering a nail into your hand.

Well, as long as that nail is not red hot glowing and you only hit the nail and not your hand - what an unimpressive reaction…

I had three in the doorway once, and then one right above the front door, I really need more cans of raid

Nooo! RAID is so bad! And the spiders will eat all the bloodsucking insects if you let them live. - And the pesky stink-bugs!

The golden orb weaver, in my opinion, is one of the prettiest arachnids. What really creep me out are TICKS! They carry diseases!

What kind of movie is this!!!???

It was called a Horror Movie in the 50's.
Nowadays the special effects just look funny.

Hi Friends,

being a little bit arachnophobic, i almost wet myself when i was picking up the last tomatoes and peppers and suddenly saw that huge spider right in front of my face:

Does anybody know what kind of spider that is? - And can it bite through human skin?

Thats a Golden silk orb-weavers or also called a Banana Spider. Not poisonous but will bite and hurts for days.
