Bananas

These are one of several spider species known as “banana spiders”. Their actual name is Golden Silk Orb Weavers. They’re great web builders and will often build between trees (sometimes directly in a walking path), where they will sit in the middle of the web waiting for small to medium sized flying insects. They can also be found on power lines in more remote areas. Despite the impressive size of the females, their venom is usually harmless to humans. They are also not known to be aggressive to humans, biting only out of self defense.

Arms of Age

Though oak trees are common in the South, these particular oak trees, with their long limbs heavy with age dipping low to the ground, can be found at the entrance to Jungle Gardens at Avery Island. Near New Iberia, LA. 2020.

Jungle Gardens was founded by Edward Avery McIlhenny, son of E. McIlhenny - the founder of Tabasco hot sauce. Edward was a naturalist and conservationist who was born on Avery Island and grew up studying the botanical and wildlife in the area. In the 1920’s, Edward converted his private estate into Jungle Gardens and decorated the grounds with exotic plant life from around the world. He opened up Jungle Gardens to the public in 1935.
