I caught a rattle snake at Windrock once on the main gravel road about 4' long ....30 min later ran through a spider web, got it all over my face and came unglued !!! I HATE SPIDERS !!!!

I've seen them bigger but never that fat. I didn't even know they could get that fat! You must have fed it well!

Might be a different "strain" of them up here in N TX.
We fed him grass hoppers and crickets. Its awesome to drop something on the web and watch it scurry over and wrap it up in web.
 
I enjoy watching those garden spiders and the brown variety that turn bright orange just before they cash it in in the fall. Got a pic somewhere of a big orange one I'll try to find and post.
 
Its crazy how many people treat a spider encounter as more terrifying than a Tiger encounter, Lol -You have to really go out of your way to get bit by a spider. I always welcome a bug that eats other bugs (the ones you don't want around) This little dude was under my rig (probably checking out the awesome fabwork) laughing1 and came out to say hello before peacefully moving along for his nightly rounds.

it is fun to feed them bugs, throw in the web, watch them scramble. Later come back, do another, they go get it, later do another, they start to move, then they're like, **** it, I already got 2 marinating and I'm tired and out of web. They should use one in econ class, as supply goes up, eventually utility diminishes and demand goes down hahaha.

Don't kill Wolf spiders. I have 2 houses full of recluses though. That sucks.
 
I recently got a bug-a-salt salt shotgun. My and my 3 year old daughter spend more time than we probably should wounding flys and feeding the spiders. Every now and then we have to send one to spider heaven just to remind them who's boss.

Bug-a-salt FTW!!!
We have one too. Hours of back porch entertainment!! Kids and I have running kill totals we brag about (to each other) lol
 
Ill get a picture of the rafters in my shop this afternoon. The rafters are on 2 foot centers and there is a different spider(all the same kind of brown/black FL house spider) on every rafter where it meets the beam. I would have never thought they would nest so close together, but they dont seem to fight with each other any. Watching them destroy the carpenter bees is pretty gnarly, those bees make a god awful noise when they get stuck.
