just down the path from our school is this little trio of webs. the webs are rather large, but nothing in compared to the nasty freakin spiders that make their home there. honestly, these things give me the heeby jeebies. i actually almost walked into one of their webs, which most likely would have made me vomitted. scratch 'probably.' i would have definitely. these spiders are by far the nastiest spiders i have encountered beyond the plated glass in zoos or other 'safe' places. i was certain that something this big (the sucker was just a tad smaller than the palm of my hand) and nasty had to be poisonous. anyway, a little research has revealed that these gems are called 'the golden banana' spiders in north america. they are basically harmless, unleashing their venom only if provoked. lord knows i will not be provoking these little monsters. have a look. don't they just scream 'friendly?'
