We used to see those everywhere growing up in east Texas. I called them banana spiders but they're totally harmless. They hang outside and catch bugs.

This..  known as banana spiders round these here parts

We called them garden spiders when we were growing up and, yeah, tossed the small grasshoppers in the webs and watched them go to work.  During 4th of July they got a few lady fingers tossed to them, they are quick learners.

What else would you do with bananas?

So if a banana spider is laying asleep in its web, would you call the web a banana hammock?

slowly place your hand flat in front of it and he'll (almost certainly a he) will walk right onto your hand, gently walk around and you can freak out your wife, kids, etc.

Go fuck yourself.

that is a male black widow. They aren't as venomous nor as likely to bite as the female.

 

The female is all black with the hour glass on the underside of the abdomen.
