This is an image of a rather large Banana Spider in Luzon Philippines. These spiders are usually near Banana Trees but not always and the spider in this image was at least 8inches in diameter. These spiders have very strong webs and are not normally aggressive but will bite if threatened. Their venom is not deadly but can be painful to humans. Their Webs are very large and hard to miss unless walking in the dark, but you usually won't find these spiders in the middle of the cities or populated areas of the Philippines..
