Brazilian Wandering Spider

Brazilian Wandering Spiders aren’t particularly spiders you want to see wandering around near your home. There are 8 different types of species of this type of spider and they belong to the family Ctenidae. They are also sometimes referred to as “armed spiders” or “banana spiders.” These spiders can become huge with a leg span of between 13 and 18 centimeters (5.1 and 7.1 inches). They are mostly found in countries in South America, even though some are native to Central America as well. You won’t see them wandering about during the day because they are known to wander the floor of the jungle at night.
