Brazilian news outlet G1 spoke with a local biologist who says the spider activity is actually quite normal. He identified the species as Anelosimus eximius, a "social spider" known for its massive colonies that create blankets of webs. The behavior might also seem familiar to people in Chicago, where each year the city experiences an influx of "flying spiders" – so many that earlier this year the Hilton's Magnificent Miles Suites hotel formally requested guests keep their windows shut to avoid the annual migration. This species, known as Larinioides sclopetarius, spin their silk into balloon-like formations and ride lakefront air currents to crevices in high rises downtown.


I am not visiting Brazil without a flamethrower.

I don't know why, but I actually thought the spider looked kind of cute in this video.

I wish a black widow would bite Alex Smith on the balls.

I probably killed around 100 of those bastards.

Only 2 were in my basement, and a few in the garage. Thank God.

That is a big jumping spider.

I was just waiting for it to put the hammer down on his forearm.

I used to not mind spiders until last year. A friend of mine was bitten by a brown recluse in his sleep. It looked like his ****ing arm was rotting off. I used to have pic of it... Lost it though unfortunately.

My dad got bit above his eyebrow. The doctor didn't know what it was but I sure as hell did.


He got shot up with antibiotics and it healed pretty fast. When I told him what I thought it was he was pretty worried.

Don't google pics of Recluse bites, or you will never set foot in a garage again.
