What kind of spider is this?

I remember being fascinated watching them as a kid jump on the wall like they had told gravity what to go do with it self. Still my favorite spider and only one I will never kill.

To be fair, I find spiders fascinating. When I was single in my early 20’s I owned a tarantula, avicularia avicularia. She was awesome. But no matter how fascinated I am by spiders, anything with eight legs, eight eyes, & furry creeps me the fuck out
 
Does the 9v battery trick work on spider bites of the nasty sort, or do you have to upgrade to the stun gun treatment?
 
I have never been bitten by a spider. All those years of crawl spaces and wood piles and hunting shacks and not once bitten. I thought I got bit once but the doctor said it was only shingles. One spot about the size of a silver dollar on the inside of my arm. Really, I probably wish it had been a spider bite.
PS
I kill any fkn spider I see. Oh, and yes, I will go out of my way to do it!!!!!!

They are some nasty little fucks. A friend had one bite his forearm. That thing drained forever.

Take care of it. That's a bad place.
Yup wife looked at me like I was high when I told her that the rain is screwing up my landscape plans.
She says- I know you are hard of hearing,however I know you heard the doctor, acting stupid you're not getting away with.
If it wasn't going to rain for the next two weeks I'd be out shooting.

If you are into BFS (big fucking spiders],
Go hang out in the swamps of Louisiana.
The ones I seen were black and yellow,
Body about 3 inches angular shape
With the legs the size of my hand .
Their webs were 20 to 30 feet across, and stretched across the canals or creeks.
Don't know what they are catching? Birds, bats IDK.
I asked some locals what they are and they called them garden spiders.
They didn't look like any garden spiders I
Ever saw.

Banana spiders. Saw them in Florida when I lived there. Impressive and intimidating.

This is acceptable...I guess
 
I was rock climbing in cali one time, got just up to the top, it was close to dawn, caught that fucker square in the face, his body(weighing close to a couple oz) bumped square into my nose and lips, web draped carefully around my face, trapping said spider on my face. I had two options, fall to my death or finish climbing up and getting to safe ground as the 3” across spider wriggled upon my face. Clearly i am here today, it was an unpleasant experience, but he never bit me.

Banana spiders, should be intimidating, they’re potentially deadly.
I'll have to Google it.
The first one I saw, I was relieving myself turned around and it was in my face.
After that I seen many, too much other shit to worry about in the swamps, gators, snakes and some other creatures.
I still had fun.
 
Ello Mate.

Everything is creepier down under.

That’s a NOPE, with a side of Noooope, with fuck no for dessert. However, a surefire cure for constipation.
