They make the webs every day? WOW. I just see them hanging from their webs from the house or the shed. They seem to be there all season, and then their egg sacs appear, hanging too. The spiders, I think, die off at the end of the season, but the egg sacs remain and the next season new spiders emerge. I hear brown recluse bites are terrible. I think they can be lethal, right? I've seen gorgeous black widows by the edge of the woods. They're fairly small spiders, but they do carry a punch! @GabeU wrote: @maratsade wrote: Could be worse; could be a brown recluse or a black widow! I get argiope spiders in the garden. They hang there in an x-shape. I've also seen black widows outside. I see spiders inside but have no idea what species they are. We get those argiope spiders here, too. I always find them on accident when walking through a field, and when you almost walk into one they take your breath away, that's for sure. You know that they actually make those awesome webs every single day? A new one every morning. Amazing, and they are amazing looking (both the spider and the webs). We don't get brown recluse or black widow spiders here, or at least not that I've seen or heard of. Too far north. Used to see a black widow every now and then when I lived in VA, though. Was a heating and AC tech so I crawled through plenty of crawl spaces and old basements. Never saw a brown recluse, though I know that they were there. Had a counter guy working for me, when I went to the wholesale side of the business, and he had been bitten by one about a year before hand, but it kept acting up every now and again. Those brown recluse bites are AWFUL!!!!
