We have had a black widow show up on the porch once. That one died immediately.
Our spiders to get pretty massive down here too. Years ago, we had a massive banana spider build a nest between our shed and a tree. Including legs, the spider was bigger than my head. My younger son was about 3 at the time, and completely fascinated by it. He never tried to touch it, just liked to sit in the yard and watch it.
