Sorry for the spider lovers out there. I know it’s bad luck to kill a spider, but they are venomous and dangerous, so I did what I had to do.

So you had better watch out!

We used to take it for walks after dinner on the sidewalk. If a dog or another spider approached us his hairs would turn yellow-red and the other animal used to have to watch out!
Christine you should call the police it sounds like your husband might have killed a baby. You can worry about the banana spiders when he is in custody where he belongs!
Cindy it sounds like the people in your household are approaching the end you should succumb to the banana spiders bite.

The egg sacs in bananas are in fact very nutritious. The Chinese have eaten them for centuries. Make sure you freeze then first to stun the baby spiders before frying it.
Sarah I think your mom may have been holding a banana in her hand not a banana spider.

Cia there is a dedicated team of scientists working on keeping BWS out of bananas. They are experimenting scaring the babies of banana spiders with yellow objects in the hope the spiders fear yellow. However the scientists fear they may become apple or celery spiders as it is likely they will use a fruit or vegetable that is close in the alphabet.

we live a small town in Iowa this spider was brought here on fire wood by other campers from out of state, and that spider wasn’t the only one found in our town people have been finding them at other camp grounds and sent them in also. If i were someone who found one i would either try and find away to trap it or run away. BE SAFE!!

Orb weavers are actually very helpful spiders, they do reduce the amount of insects immensely! If it weren’t for them we’d have a lot more pesky insects in the summer. Plus, orb weavers are harmless and certainly not venomous at all. They do more good then anything else!
