The banana spider is a common name used for two entirely different species of Spiders, the nephila clavipes of North America, and the phoneutria of Central and South America, the latter of which can be deadly.
The phoneutria or South American banana spider is a large, aggressive spider with a body length of about 1.3 inches (3 cm). This banana spider primarily makes its home in the rain forests but can also be found in cities, where, between 1970 and 1980 it was reportedly responsible for the hospitalization of some 7,000 people in southeastern Brazil.
The nephila clavipes banana spider of North America possesses venom similar in nature to the venom of the black widow, but far less potent, making it quite harmless to humans. A bite from a North American banana spider will not result in much more than a welt that will pass within 24 hours.

How big is the Big Banana?
the female is...Well i have not had a chance to messure but the female north American banana spider is about the size of your palm. the banana spider, or the actual name of Brazilian Wandering Spider, is approximately 5 inches from leg tip to leg tip, and may i point out, there is absolutely nothing called a north American banana spider, the banana spider is NOT tarantula, like its name suggests, its from Brazil.New Part... The "American Banana Spider" is actually called golden silk orb-weavers. And they do get about as big as your palm. An non-aggressive spider. But if provoked they will bite. Bite is about as bad as a bee sting. Good for keep flies down during the summer time.
