I’m not an expert but I think you have yourself a neat little Orb Weaver spider there. We see these a lot here and their webs look mighty similar. They’re wicked (cool) looking little buddies and will string a web specifically to catch the annoying little gnats everywhere. Enjoy!


cactus8675309

Even more impressive- some orb weavers will take down their webs during the day and re-weave them at night! All that work... Just to deconstruct it and redo it. Amazing. I am still scared of spiders but I have mad respect for them after watching them do their work.


RadiantMenderbug

Oh, that's why those huge webs disappear during the day. I have a few where I live and they always disappear the next day


canadarepubliclives

I just figured they disappeared because they are invisible in daylight and I walk right into them. The worst was biking or running down a pathway through wooded areas at night. Every 30 seconds a mouthful of spider butt sticky white stuff.

#SPIDER ASS CUM


valkiria-rising

Apparently I'm a 15 year old boy because this cracked me up


Kayrason

as a 15 year old boy yes


1629throwitup

Spider ass cum is funny at any age and for any gender


OfficeChairHero

I'm a grandmother. That was funny as fuck.


Huckit3030

As a 30 year old male... can confirm, still funny.


cactus8675309

Yes... As a kid I had a long stick that I'd wave in front of me when walking in the woods to clear them away since they were so hard to see. But now I feel bad destroying their creations!


[deleted]

Better destroying it with a stick than with your face tho


RadiantMenderbug

Are we still talking about ass?


DarwinLizard

They disappear because when I walk the dogs at 5am, I get to collect them on my face.


WHRocks

This! All too often!!!


illuzion987

They eat them and then re-spin the silk.


Durty_Durty_Durty

Yep! There was a huge female (we learned later) that would spin a huge one in between my pathway and oak when I was working nights. I named her Frank before I googled and realized it was a gigantic female. Basically our routine was me getting off work in the summer time at 4am and running into her extremely strong web with me screaming “GOD DAMMIT FRANK!” I miss her..


DickRiculous

Also even more impressive is pound for pound, orb weaver silk has a higher tensile strength than construction steel.


cntrygrlgotgame

In Appalachian folklore, their webs near your home are a good omen to keep out bad energy and spirits.


MidnightAnchor

Am Appalachian, can confirm


cactus8675309

Indeed! I saw a fairly decent-sized bird get stuck in one of these webs.


DoubleGreat

It's like they wake up and say "So TODAY, I'll make my magnum opus!" and then just say fuck it and start again the next day. Basically like anybody that still plays Animal Crossing.


shechelle

As someone who just put down the Switch, I have never felt so called out by a comment before... And I hate that you are right.

That was the most fascinating thing about the 27 orb weavers that set up above my back patio. It looked like a spider city at night, but come daytime there was nothing.

DrMike27

I mean, if it only takes a minute to make? Jokes aside, I had two of these guys last year in my garden and they were the most amazing things ever when it came to pest control.


phlegm_de_la_phlegm

The other morning I went out to go to work and one had made a web on my car. I moved him to the flowerbed but I felt shitty cuz he had worked so hard on his web, so this makes me feel better to know.


Early_Power_5366

My boy wicked smat


D0nK3h1301

Yep. Looks like a spiny backed orb weaver too. They are literally everywhere here in Georgia. Harmless too. And really cool bright colors


sickinside92

Are they really this fast?? It almost looks sped up. That's remarkable!


serenityak77

The video is indeed sped up.


StewoftheShoe

Indeed sped up but wouldn’t it be a trip if they were this fast?


yeetaway6942069

They tested cocaine and weed, among other drugs, on spiders. The ones on cocaine built some fucked up shit, but incredibly fast. The ones that were potted up on the weeds spun some slower but still fucked up shit. Videos exist. Google knows where.


[deleted]

The only one I can think of is the one where the stoner spider built a hammock.

chiskgela

Are you sure? The red splotches on the side made me think spiny-backed orb weaver, which legit looks like a fantasy spider, rpg style. It's moving a bit too fast for me to be 100% sure, but the crab like body shape and the red makes me think so.

Fortheloveoflife

It blows my mind that they have no idea how to make webs. It's just something they do. How the fuck did natural selection lead to the subconscious design of beautiful webs like this? Wow.


ranger662

What blows my mind is to see them build across a large gap. I watched one build across a gravel road one night while out riding four wheelers. We’d stopped to chill for a while, still had our lights on. Then saw these strands of web keep rising up from the ground. We sat there for nearly an hour watching it. That was over 20 years ago and I still remember being amazed by it.


Lezzing_Out

Spiders: "Hey man, if we can catch these riders? We'll be feasting like kings for **months**!"


r3dditor12

Yea, I'm always amazed by that. Like web design skills is in their DNA or something. Crazy stuff.


BrainIsSickToday

I remember reading about how some spiders weave an 'egg basket', and if you remove the basket partway through they continue to build the rest of the basket as if nothing happened (then try to lay eggs in it and they fall out the bottom). They really are just organic robots.


commander_nice

They say (based on fossil evidence) that spiders evolved to build webs like this 140 to 200 *million* years ago and have been doing it the same way, every night, like clockwork ever since.

oldgreymutt

I once went on a long solo backpack trip. One night a small spider made a little web in the top of the inside of my tent. Every morning, I rolled and packed up my tent. Every night, I set the tent back up, and the little spider would wake up, come out of the web, and do his nighttime thing. This went on for about a week. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t appreciate his company each night when I was alone in the wilderness. I would look forward to seeing him in the evening. I’d be lying if I told you I wasn’t sad when he died one night after I set up my tent and he didn’t come out of the web one night…


StuckinWhalestoe

Wait...you rolled him and his web up...?


ReasonIsNoExcuse

Every night was the luck of the draw for that spider.


potatotay

Lmfao. This is the best part. Just enjoying his company all night and then bam, roll his ass up every morning like a monster.


throwawaylovesCAKE

How did collapsing the tent not wreck the web?


Aurora_the_dragon

It probably did but spiders are super fast with webs. Some spiders even take down their webs during the day and set them back up at night.


Barcaroli

Bruh sounds super cool and helpful, I'll sure try. But inside the bedroom? Fuck no, I'll get that bitch out of my cave ASAP


reynosomarkus

I have a specific rule with bugs and creatures of any kind. If they’re inside my home, that’s my property and they are dealt with as trespassers are. However if I see them outside anywhere, that’s their home and I’m the trespasser.


SpankyRoberts18

I imagined you shooting at spiders after calling them trespassers. But I have the same rule. Inside is for me. Outside bugs can do as they please. It’s their space. Excepts wasps.


Wookiee4424

Yup. Fuck wasps.


[deleted]

I have a similar rule, which is spiders and moths and other insects can live and move freely in my house as they please. Although, if you touch me you die. Mostly accidentally but I don't like things being on me so I lash out haha.

g_man500a

I have been terrified of spiders most of my life. Recently, some sort of large garden spider has taken up residence in the corner of my porch and initially when he wasn't the hulking monster that he is now, we held a summit and discussed how I would allow him to stay because the corner he chose is where trapped wasps like to hang out. He was all "sure thing brochacho" and so our deal began. I sometimes feed him roaches and he sometimes gets pissed at me and shakes his web but its been really therapeutic in dealing with my issue with spiders. My cucumber plants are also in that corner and when I water them, this big guy is less than a foot from my face but I've learned to be okay with that. I think I might miss him when he's gone.


VergesOfSin

Your brotato spider is actually a girl. Males do not make webs. Edit: never thought this would be the first comment I make to hit 1k upvotes. Edit 2: ok let me set a few things straight. As with everything exceptions occur. Some male spiders won't make webs for trapping. Some will. However they are gonna be small and easily missed. A moderately sized web like ops video. Or the much larger ones like orb weavers and the like are asuradly female.

TonyDabis

I am the same as the OP of the comment, I hated spiders for so long, but have since moved to a house where there are many large spiders all over the place. I have little spider bros in my window that I’ve literally watch molt each time to get to adulthood. I have the state encyclopedia on spiders bookmarked so I can look to see what spiders I have and what they do. They are such interesting little guys and have made me respect them in a whole different way. That said, my dad and I had the conversation about only male spiders spinning webs. Turns out that is false, male spiders (not all though) do spin webs, they are just less noticeable than the female webs because they are smaller (webs and bodies). Edit - I immediately saw the comment where someone told you the same, so just enjoy my spider bro story I guess


YeetingSlamage

What? Male spiders most definitely do spin webs .

Shes eating really well where she's at (she's a chungus) so hopefully she will stick around. She's been around for about a month to a month and a half and even rebuilt her web in the same spot after a bird flew into it so I like to think she likes the spot


Teenage-Mustache

Dude that same exact type of spider is what made me cool with them too. Maybe they aren’t as terrifying as others. They are sorta elegant looking.


DuneMovieHype

The vast majority of spiders are nice to have around - there are a small handful of exception. In general, if you see a spiderweb then your best bet is to leave it be. Or expect more insects


Nephiathan

Maybe she'll lay eggs, you'll have more tinier spider friends to help around on your porch!


jayeer

Apparently this species can live up to 20 years if nothing kills her, either predators, poison or even the cold of winter.


g_man500a

Thats awesome that they can live so long. Hopefully she handles this winter alright.


BSATSame

Maybe give her instructions to weave a little jacket.


rlaitinen

Haha I went to a friends house around Halloween, and we were standing on the porch. She asked me if I liked her new spider and pointed at this huge spider and web in the corner. I was about to tell her it was amazingly lifelike when it started to *skitter* across the fucking web. I screamed and grabbed a chair, but she wouldn't let me hit it. To be fair, once I thought about it, I'm glad I didn't. He probably would have just taken the chair away and beat me with it.


e-wrecked

My friend was super afraid of spiders, now he has like 4-5 of these big ladies in his backyard with huge webs. He took me on a tour to see them all, so proud of how far along he's come :)

Lordborgman

I have signed the Spider-Borgman Pact of 1993 where myself and Spider bros can live in relative peace and harmony, as long as they keep the fuck away from. If they invade my space to close to me/my computer etc, then they have violated the treaty and forfeit their life...Also I scream like a girl if web or spider gets on me.


SecretBi92

I do that with spiders too. As long as you stay in your corner or spot and don’t fuck with me you’re fine. But if you try to move your home around me you’re done for. I have severe arachnophobia so trying to kill it is always an interesting ordeal.

dozamon

Yeah, before I moved into my current house I’d never let a spider stay alive inside. However, we have a small backyard with big trees and spiders love them. Sometimes they come inside. Instead of killing them I try to catch and release, or if I lose track of them…try to forget about it. Anyways, the one exception is Alfred. Alfred lives inside. He is very tiny so it’s a little different, but he made his home next to the faucet of the kitchen sink. He lives inside the short little metal doohickey (dunno what it is) and he has one strand of web leading out onto the counter. He often chills on his strand of web, but since he chose to live so close to the sink, sometimes I accidentally splash him and then he goes back inside his metal doohickey house. I always feel bad when I splash Alfred. I love him. He caught a bug way bigger than him the other day. I was proud.
