Like 22 years ago, when I had one that was by my patio and aggressive as hell. He would not be scared away. I knew our house was built fairly close to wetlands. Hell, the A HOLE "Developers" wiped out 5-6 areas of swamp area just South of us. Spiders AND snakes get a bum rap. Hell, people piss me off more than they do. About 30 years ago, I had a Banana Spider in my yard. It was actually interesting to just watch it do its thing. He was out of my way.
