As a kid growing up in Florida, I remember a scary moment when an old man walking towards his car brushed up against the web of a very large Joro spider, which stuck to his back, right before he opened up his car and drove away. The spider must have been at least 6 inches in diameter if not more. I was worried the man could have gotten into a car accident after being surprised by the giant creature. I should have tried to stop him, but I was really young, had no time to react, and he was between one and two hundred feet away (I have good long distance eyesight). That was at Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, which had so many of these spiders.
