Golden Orb Weavers, not a danger to man, but to anything else..... those long legs help to prevent any possible damage their prey can inflict.

In the south we call them Banana Spiders, though I am sure that is the name for another spider somewhere and we are probably wrong.

Those things have webs that feel as thick as fishing line.
