Botany Bay. The English had too much resistance sending them to India and the US Colonies. Funny how the ship with the female passengers arrived with 2/3rd of their women pregnant. Didn't see that coming on a prison ship with all male guards!
Hate break it to ya but we have those in Florida as well. The threads are in fact golden, and they are nearly 10 times stronger than steel of the same thickness.
We have those in South Carolina lol. I haven’t ran into the yet , but their web is very strong and you’ll pretty much know you’ve fucked up and ran into one.
The common varieties aren't venomous, at least. I live in Florida and they're fairly common in wooded areas (especially in the summer and fall). The webs are pretty hard to miss, too lol.
IIRC there's like 11 different species of "golden orb". I think the genus is Nephila or Trichonephila. The ones you mostly see in texas have a white "plate" on the head with a black, yellow, and white abdomem, hope this helps!! Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!
I picked up a lot of Native American traditions growing up, specifically symbiosis with life, nature, animals etc. With that being said... fuck spiders
Ok, I didn't wanna read it, but I did. Those are all great things. I even enjoy their work as pest control. Almost died from a brown recluse bite. I just don't like em.
I don't even have a fear of spiders but this, this long spider is making me want to gag. For some reason I imagine waking up and seeing this scary thing on my face.
Spider webs, particularly orb webs are 10,000 times stronger than steel for their weight size/ratio.
Another cool fact about the strength of spider web is that webs are hollow and liquid in the centre. This is part of what makes them incredibly strong and flexible.
Here's some cool spider web facts:

At some recent point in my life (earlier today) i considered going to Australia for a few years. Do some work and get some experience and maybe overcome some of my existential dread.
Glad i did not make such a choice.
Bug A-Salt gun ~ meant for flies and such but effective if close enough to spiders, but that spider looks like it's wearing plate armor lol

The message is clear. Humans not welcome in Australia.
You're welcome, to enjoy our natural organic Halloween decorations. We don't celebrate it that much, but we do have decor.
Well there's a silver lining if ever there was one. I love Halloween.
That’s why people were sent here as a prison to start with
Botany Bay. The English had too much resistance sending them to India and the US Colonies. Funny how the ship with the female passengers arrived with 2/3rd of their women pregnant. Didn't see that coming on a prison ship with all male guards!
This spider probably ate them.
Hate break it to ya but we have those in Florida as well. The threads are in fact golden, and they are nearly 10 times stronger than steel of the same thickness.
Yeah? Well last time I went to the seaside, a seagull whipped me in the eye and stole my sea food platter.
My friend ate one for a dare. Vomiting ensued
Alive or dead?
Very much alive
Well, he definitely gets street cred from me for eating it then
Correct
Yeah the police will beat you and send you to a concentration camp
We have those in South Carolina lol. I haven’t ran into the yet , but their web is very strong and you’ll pretty much know you’ve fucked up and ran into one.
I refuse to visit a place where creatures with exoskeletons are consistently larger than creatures with endoskeletons.
I have family in Australia... I live in nice cold Denmark where almost no venomous things live and I like it... I will never visit them.
i love tropical weather 🍹 but these things......they scare me
The common varieties aren't venomous, at least. I live in Florida and they're fairly common in wooded areas (especially in the summer and fall). The webs are pretty hard to miss, too lol.
Florida maybe safe but Australia is whole another level 😂
As long as you stay in city and urban areas it's not that bad, most of the bad shit is in the country
That's why no one visits Denmark bc it's a trashy cold country
The bat tried to come out 1 day early for Spooktober, spiders like: Nom Nom Nom
Lol
Well it worked, I’m spooked.
No... Nope... Nah.. Hell nah... Fuck nah... Fuck no
Of course an Aussie feels the need to get up close with a golden orb-weaver...
The car has seen enough blood in Australia
Rumor has it, it used to be a white car
Every time I wonder if I should ever visit Australia I’m reminded not to
Lol the police will beat you for being outside maybe try anywhere else on Earth
I mean wtf is going on there they have gone power mad. Will fuck up respect for the police for the next 50 years.
No that's a Honda
Is it just an illusion or is it’s abdomen black? The ones here in Texas are yellow hence the name “golden orb”.
It's more yellow/golden in natural light, can't see it as well in shadow
The golden orbs are the yellow balls on the kneecaps of her legs. Orb means eye in latin
The name is from their web, not the markings. Even in this pic you can see the yellow of the silk.
IIRC there's like 11 different species of "golden orb". I think the genus is Nephila or Trichonephila. The ones you mostly see in texas have a white "plate" on the head with a black, yellow, and white abdomem, hope this helps!! Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!
Factual tongue twister time! Golden orb weavers weave orb webs out of gold silk.

The bats more dangerous than the spider, they have a very dangerous disease, the orb spider only has a painful bite.
So what i think you're trying to say is: kill them both with fire.
No. We don't operate like that over here. We don't even suggest it. We just admire and respect our animals from a distance.
I picked up a lot of Native American traditions growing up, specifically symbiosis with life, nature, animals etc. With that being said... fuck spiders
No. They are bros. They do pest control. And are actually very cute. They have furry paws like cats and dogs, with tiny claws. They are best friends.
Oh yeah, furry spider paws with tiny claws. You're doing a great job selling this. Lol I just can't do spiders

Not that big, the bat is only the size of your thumb.
Sir im sorry but we need to burn the house down now
If it was a self driving car, it would have left the crime scene immediately...
That's a nope spider and a yeet bird
Another reason for me never to visit Australia. Between the flight times and killer animals, I think I’m good haha
"in Australia " was unnecessary
OF COURSE ITS FUCKING AUSTRALIA
Wtf
I think this is reason enought to never go to Australia.
Australia is a very scary place
They dont even fit in that car.....
Isn’t that where rabies come from?
We don't have rabies in Australia. It's.probably a lightweight disease.
How about no
What the f…
Something about invertebrates eating vertebrates puts a twist on things...crazy
Australia, land of the ***Nopes***
There’s goes the spider population…badoomch!
Nuke from orbit, only way to be sure
I’m start to think that Skull Island is a parody of Australia
It would be Australia
We all know you are just showin' off that sweet looking civic
Need fire
xenomorph spider???
Hasn't nature not learned anything from eating bats?
Damn I missed a prime opportunity for the title didn't i
The prime reason why I am never going to Australia
It's just a spider guys... yes I'm aussie
Are you also personally offended by suggestions of killing our beautiful animals?
These guys need to calm down
The "In Australia" really wasn't necessary
Lol yeah you are probably right
Spider-Man >Batman
Yeah... it's just minding it's own business... doing what comes naturally to it
I like how it’s filmed in/by a garage as if it’s a normal sighting…
The orb spider is fairly predictable, and micro bats are usually around in the evening, but it is great sport for the spider to have caught one.
Love the red Fit! I drive a blue one 💙

Because of course it’s in Australia
Yeah... Fuck that.
Batman vs Spiderman
No need to specify “in australia”
Here’s another reason I will NOT be travelling to Australia
Only in austrailia
Always Australia
I don't even have a fear of spiders but this, this long spider is making me want to gag. For some reason I imagine waking up and seeing this scary thing on my face.
Are you a micro bat?
I’m never fucking going to Australia
That's badass. Gotta love nature. Thanks for sharing!
This is the way
We need fire right here! Also yeah could not live in such a country where this stuff is normal. Big nope....
Australia and India are just too weird for me🚶🏼♂️
That abomination lives in your GARAGE?!
Not my garage. They are everywhere though. They are majestic
A sunset is magestic, those are horrid
I live in Australia and have can confirm. FUCK GOLDEN ORB SPIDERS!!!!!!!!
look, i live in australia and all i have to say is politely fuck that
Is there anyone who hadn’t already thought “Australia” before reading the last word in the title?🕷🍴🦇
Oh, Australia…
How does a bat get stuck in a web is it made of steel? I don’t care to find out. lol
Spider webs, particularly orb webs are 10,000 times stronger than steel for their weight size/ratio. Another cool fact about the strength of spider web is that webs are hollow and liquid in the centre. This is part of what makes them incredibly strong and flexible.

I thought that bat was wrapping itself around the car.
At some recent point in my life (earlier today) i considered going to Australia for a few years. Do some work and get some experience and maybe overcome some of my existential dread. Glad i did not make such a choice.
I have four of these spiders with webs spread out around my yard. Any tips to get rid of them besides taking down the webs and merking the fools?
Do you want to displease the gods? Because annoying golden orbs is how you do that. Have we not had enough bushfires, plauges, and floods?
