Pet orb weaver?

We used to do that for a spider in my friend's garden. We used those small orange moth/butterfly things because they are easy to catch. The spider became large.

That Imgurian who's been trying to change our minds about spiders has got to be sighing and going 'Well... back to square one."
"AGAIN!"

Oh man, watching that felt sooo good...
Horseflies are pure & absolute evil.
Orb weaver spiders are a delight.
I could watch horseflies being fed to orb weavers all day.

Strangely ordinary mosquito bites are the worst for me, they can hurt like hell for weeks... Not sure I ever got to "enjoy" a horsefly bite, but no bug bite ever hurt me as much as mosquito ones. The sharp crisp burning pain of a wasp bite only lasts for a short while and has nothing on the madness-inducing itch-pain of mosquitos bites...

Hiking the AT, the bastards actually made holes in my backpack straps to get me. They drove me to neat insanity. Even the rain didn't stop them.

"The spider is just given food without working for it?! That's against the natural order! It reeks of socialism!!" /s

Still have this memory from over 50 years ago. Camping with parents, beautiful location by a creek, still remember the name: Deep Creek, Idaho. Camp, tent etc all setup, area filled with horseflies. Everyone getting bitten. Had to pack up and leave, trip ruined

For those who live outside their population areas, that is a golden orb weaver. They're found in warm, humid climates worldwide. The females are huge and scary looking but harmless to humans, not aggressive, and they will eat ALL the pests.

I live in Louisiana which is warm and humid.

All I ask is that is does not crawl on me. I once got on inside my shirt while hiking. I spent the rest of the hike without a shirt. Thankfully it was private farmland.

Only for the horsefly. That spider is one that almost always stays in its web and is completely harmless to people. They are the kind often seen in or near gardens, with yellow and black bodies, and their webs usually have a sort of white zig-zag in the middle. They eat a lot of bugs and are all-round helpful guys/gals. They are friends, not enemies!

Completely harmless till you walk into it screaming bloody murder / “oh god what the fuck”, and the spider gives you a mild/moderate bite that is still pretty annoying.

We had a beautiful orb weaver on our back porch for a month or two. Initially took some convincing the wife to let her stay as she was in the perfect spot to catch all the moths that fly in our back door. Lovely things.
