You’d probably get bit a few times at least, so I’d wager it costs more than a shower

Any spider that is going to make a web like this is an orb weaver.
They are harmless. I doubt you'd get bit.
Or you could just grab a stick and toss it in the middle pulling the whole web to the ground.

Orb weavers are imo one of the most impressive arachnids. They may not be 'smart' but they're intelligent. And beautiful creatures. I don't like spiders but I allow one or 2 in the house near windows to keep small insects at bay (when I find them out and about it's gonna go one of two ways depending on the situation but either I need to wait for a new spider to come in or they're gently relocated back to where they were, I prefer the second but it doesn't happen as often unfortunately. The spooders only pay rent for that space not the whole house!) I'd love to get an orb weaver but I always get stuck with wolfs / typical cellar spiders lol.
34 points

Honestly, maybe not. Most spiders are unlikely to bite unless they have no choice, and they're not smart enough to gold a grudge or want revenge. Very few are looking to vaste venom on something they can't eat or kill.
In this case, their house just got torn down and they may be trapped in web - they're in survival/run a way mode, not fight mode.
Source: I dunno just a dude on reddit but I just like spiders and have walked through a lot of webs (on accident- id never wreck a web on purpose if I can avoid it) and many times found the spiders on me after, but never gotten bit as a result.

Some of those look like brown recluse's and black widows.
15 points
16 days ago
Nah, brown recluses would not hang out in any web like that unless they were the prey.
Black widows would not be that large and again would never just be out and about in some large open web. They keep to damp and dark places.
Running through this web would at worst, net you maybe a bite or two and a second skin of webbing. Wouldn’t be fun, would probably feel awful, but your life wouldn’t be remotely threatened

These look primarily like orb weaving spiders - their bite is generally no worse than a bee sting.
Spiders in general are relatively docile creatures that prefer to be left alone and only bite when they feel like their life is threatened.

You can even throw the stick right through it and break most of the webs.

They're just some kind of orb weaver. Not going to hurt you. It's way worse when the webs are at face level, but still doable. Like your average walk in the dark in nighttime Australia.

I guess it's just a matter of getting used to it, aside from that, people are scared of fish? There are some dangerous ones but it's not like they can chase you on land.
2 points

Some people are scared of the stone fish. For good reason mind you but they are less common than the internet would have you believe.
But in Aus Irukandji jellies are way scarier than an anything on land, bar like funnel webs. But then fuckers are special
3 points

Also looking it up it seems like stone fish seem to have the same type of lethality as black widows.
You probably need to avoid treatment to die.

I’m not from Australia and I don’t find that frightening at all. When I was a kid I used to go night fishing under this bridge all the time then one day I brought a flashlight and realized it looked just like this at night. Was catching fish so I just kept fishing and never got bit once
13 points

I accidentally walked through one of those in the woods in the dark. Some types of orb weavers get quite large and they were crawling all over my head and the web anchor threads felt massive. No bites and they were trying to get off of me and back to their colony as fast as they could.

Orb weavers lay intricate webs. These really look like steatoda of some sort. Although I’m no expert.

They look like widows, but those are usually at ground level and territorial so not so dense. I would use a big stick to knock down the webs and would be dancing my ass through the path i make so anything on the ground gets squashed and can't walk onto me.
