Spider

Description:

Spider has a long skinny abdomen with legs easily 1 1/2 inches long and can fit in your hand and be nearly same size, Its web is enormous up to 30 to 40 feet wide and usually never seen unless you look up roughly 10 to 15 feet and see it being reflected from the sunlight.

Habitat:

Jungles areas high off the ground perched in its enormous web.. One of the webs had a small bat stuck to it dead. and few small birds.

Notes:

i am told if you get bitten you will be paralyzed for up to 4 to 10 hours and if you are weak or have health conditions it may be the last of you... I cant tell if its true or not because no one seems to care about spiders here...they are ignored basically and with most poison species. They are usually ignored or killed.
