First Banana Spider of the Season - a photo on Flickriver

            These large spiders are called banana spiders because of their yellow and brown color. This one is beside the trail around Creekfield Lake in Brazos Bend State Park.

Usually we first see them in late May or early June, and this one is right on time. They can hang around as late as November. They build large webs and often prey on flying insects that get caught in their webs. Females are much larger than the males, which is fairly typical for spiders.
