I was born and raised in TX with all kinds of insects around. Well, I haven't lived in the south for a while; I got use to no bugs at all in North Dakota. This is by far the creepiest spider I have ever seen. They spin these massive webs between trees. If you are not paying attention it is very easy to walk right into the web, which I did the first time I walked into my backyard, AAAHHHHH! It's one of those moments if a hidden camera was on me it would've been pretty hilarious. I must say though if you thought there was a chance this spider was on you I think anybody would be doing the funky dance trying to get it off. Apparently the spiders are harmless and keep the other bug population down. I will keep my distance just in case. This picture was taken with serious zoom set on the camera. The spider is about the size of the palm of your hand, TX size! If you look closely at the picture you will notice he is missing a leg, hopefully there isn't a bigger spider picking on him.
