I opened the door, took a stick, got most of the web with it in it and moved it to the bushes next to the door, next to the light that attracts the moths at night.
Seeing that spider for the first time is a sight for sure... I lived with my grandparents throughout most of my childhood and they were all around our fields. When I was about 10 I was hiking through a waist high field and walked right through a web... had the spider hanging on to my crotch... took my knife out and safety flicked the spider off without hurting it... when I first looked down... :shock: even knowing what type of spider it was.
Those Recluse and Widow spiders SUCK... they aren't very common around here. They can be sneaky SOB's. Having to work around either would make me jumpy too!

...that's one of the few times in life where screaming like a little girl is excusable...ANY kind of spider clinging onto one's crotch is a :shock: moment...

Those are great spider to have around the outside of a house. They kill other little pesky insects. The great thing about them is that they stay outside. I have never seen them inside a house unless transported into the house by a human. If they do bite, they are harmless. Many professional gardeners would love to have that spider in their garden. As Guy Fawkes said, most people in GA call them writing spiders: http://greennature.com/gallery/spider-p ... erets.html .
As Kenelm52 said, they are Argiope spiders, but it is easier for me to say writing spider. I knew an old lady that would talk to the one she had in her bushes.
OKAY....now im concerned hhmmm love of hideous spider owns an AK, gun fan hmmm its all coming together now the spiders are controlling it all.
Lol----sorry boy and girls--id have an aerosal can in one hand and a lighter in the other..WOOOOF
Would you like your spider original or extra krispy.....
those spiders are pretty cool to watch--if you move close enough to the web they start shaking it to intimidate you. as long as they're not in a door or opened window--I normally leave em alone--I could watch them for hours
I'm not as thrilled with the brown widow eggs sacks I found hanging over my garage door and in other nooks and crannies on the outside of the house
