Buzzer sound: Wrong
Golden Orb Spider gentlemen!

NOT: Writing spider (Argiope auranthis)
Remember, you heard it first from Carolina Tom!
These things are harmless, but HUGE, and fill the woods of the South.
Best of luck to you Davers!
I hope you don't mind ... cleaned him up a bit so he/she could be seen a bit better.

Nice shot, good thing you didn't end up with the spider on your face.
But,but,but
An episode of "Naked and Afraid" in Florida said these are dangerous!
I get them in my landscape about every 2 year cycle.
Natures mosquito nets.
I'd be afraid if I was Naked out in the Wilderness ; Afraid a Scorpion or Spider would bite or sting me on my privates.
I never really understood that shows concept.
