I don't have a picture, but outside my apartment door right now, is a 4" long grasshopper and a 5" banana spider.
1. Wiki "banana spiders" if you want to see CREEPY.
2. Grasshoppers have no business being 4 inches long. Ever.

I guess these are really my least favorite. :eek:

Welcome to Florida! ;)

I lived in Clermont (center of the state, just about 60 or so miles north east of you), we had so many of the banana spiders around our house we didn't have lizards - because the spiders would eat them. :eek:

You had to be really careful doing yardwork, or you'd walk into their webs....and if you got too close, they'd get aggressive and start "bouncing" their webs to try and intimidate you off.

:)

Don't miss that stuff at all...

Arent those the most venomous spiders in the world?
