I found one in Virginia that was in a field of high grass and weeds that's web was easily 10 feet accross and the spider itself was probably 8 inches from the tip of one leg to the other. it's body was about 2 inches long and a little less than an inch wide. we used a dollar bill to estimate it's width, a dollar being 6" accross. vickies spider in picture # 12 looks like nothing more than a common garden spider see all over down south.

I was told it was a female banana spider and I was told it was a female brown recluse. I would really like to know if it is dangerous or if I should be concerned about the babies that are now probably in my rock wall. Help me please. I have sent a photo to the e-mail provided and I hope it makes it to this page. <img src="http://www.badspiderbites.com/images/rhiannon-k-spider-2.jpg" alt="spider" /> <img src="http://www.badspiderbites.com/images/rhiannon-k-spider-1.jpg" alt="spider" /> I found this spider outside of my front door with hundreds of baby spiders with it.

These spiders typically infest out-of-the way places (like a garage or storage area), or a drawer (such as your pajama drawer). I have seen several of these bites, and all were as described in your comments. I would suggest you seek medical care. These spiders' venom causes tissue necrosis or death, and can be very dangerous. And as far as I know, all spiders are carnivorous and eat other living things. I have read that the South American banana spider actually eats small birds! Also, the wolf or funnel spider of Australia is extremely venomous and aggressive.

Is it true that no matter where you are in life there is always a spider at least 5 feet away from you? I'm pretty paronoid right now so if u could answer soon that would be great.

We have the wolf spiders here in Ohio, they get real big and are fast and very smart. They are related to tarantulas. I had one in my kitchen, and my cat was going after it and this spider raised up on its hind legs after my cat! They are not afraid of people (or cats) he ended up as a pancake spider! lol Ian, I thought the very same thing, the spider at the top look exactly like the wolf spider EXCEPT for the red fangs.

I have looked on basically every website I could find. If someone could tell me, I would appreciate it! Thanks, Taylor.
