rct99q Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Anybody recognize this one. Is about the size of a human hand. Orb Spider? But the color is black/white striped. Looked google could not see anything similar. Wife doesn't know. She has not seen this before. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct99q Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 Yup, she's a bigg'n. Daughter nearly sh*t herself when she saw it. Told her this is why we check our beds before going to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinnock Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Maybe a female Banded Leg Orb Weaver? Impressive looking beast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct99q Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 Thanks. My thoughts as well. Just the coloring is unique from other Orb spiders I have seen here. But the thing is HUGE. Don't really bother me most times, but this one I am keeping my distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna see how big its web is going to be. Many years ago we had a Golden Orb and it produced an amazing web. So gonna wait and see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
