Pretty sure those are eggs. Just for a fun here's a picture I took this afternoon.

@AlgoRythm you might be right, but they're not the egg sacks I'm used to seeing in spiders around here. Don't care to poke it and find out, either

@AlgoRythm awesome photo, btw. Phone or camera?

@QueenMorgana Poking is never a good idea. And Canon Rebel t1i :)

@AlgoRythm Wtf is wrong with you? Why are you so Fucking close!?

@anonScriptah that spider is about the size of a grown man's fist. I'm using a lens with a nice zoom, though, so I'm not that close. Fun fact, I have had one of these on my fist. I was biking, even worse, in the dark. I got the whole web on me and the poor thing landed on my fist. Totally harmless, he just ran off as fast as he could.

My 2 cents - not that big but still terrifying

Thank you all. This thread helped me get out of bed.

@fonfi thanks for that pic, didn't even want to sleep tonight.. 😖

On first pic it's probably flies or other kind of flying insects on the web...
Or maby frodo is there, with sam...

@brod you're welcome - if you'll ever need some more insomnia just call me, I have a bunch of other nice arachno-photos

@AlgoRythm you got the whole web on your fist? Wow. So now you dont need Internet right?

Ok i go away

Just blowtorch it if ur really bothered by it.

@DucksCanCode it's outside. It's fine. I only mind when they're in my room/bathroom or my kitchen.

@QueenMorgana oh I get you. Just don't blowtorch them when they're in your house, could get... Warm

@DucksCanCode lol! Yeah.. Not the safest extermination method.

@QueenMorgana no, I agree. A coating of hair spray on the area would guarantee extermination while ensuring your house doesn't get blown up

@DucksCanCode exactly. And the long multi-puropse lighter so i don't have to get too close

@QueenMorgana just use the hairspray and lighter to extend reach, should be fine, right?

@DucksCanCode works everytime i do it. Lol

@QueenMorgana yeah but it does tend to make the paint on the wall resemble a bubbling pizza

@DucksCanCode I've managed to avoid that, thankfully

@fonfi Wtf is wrong with you too? Why are you so close!?

@anonScriptah I was on the other side of the window ;) But most of the time they just hang still on the web, so you can safely take a photo :)

@fonfi

I don't have a picture, but we have these beautiful spiders here that are called "Mississippi Garden Spiders" (apparently). They really are gourgous. Though, not so much when one builds a web in your front door!

They are poisonous (about the same as a bee), but are not aggressive, but will bite if they feel threatened.

I've seen videos of people letting them crawl all over their arms and hands.

They are huge!
