Before you think it really weird, the spider, commonly known as the Kidney Garden Spider, looks a LOT like Pringle's mascot.

Louisiana has our fair share of venomous and poisonous insects, snakes, arachnids, frogs, and more. But, what's the difference between venomous vs poisonous?

Researchers are expecting millions, that's right millions of spiders the size of a child's hand to begin falling out of the sky up and down the East Coast this spring.

There are the obvious ones like alligators and coral snakes, but there are a few lesser-known, very toxic, dangerous creatures here in Louisiana

The spider which grows to be about the same size as your hand is reportedly on the move through the Gulf South.

It looks terribly painful.

I know weird people come out around Halloween time, but most folks (even the weird ones) will most likely not want to live among those pesky arachnids that find their way into your homes.

OK, I know that spiders aren't bad people, they just look that way. OK, I know that spiders aren't even people, but this one is so huge it may as well be. Watch as seemingly out of nowhere, this nightmare inducing spider pops up out of the ground to attack a clueless cricket. I'm wearing a suit of armor everyday of my life now. Oh yeah, this isn't somewhere overseas, this in Nashville, Tennessee.

Sure, we all know what a Black Widow looks like, but there are a few more crawling around that you need to be aware of.

Summertime in Louisiana always exciting. The sunny days get us outside to enjoy all the fantastic things we love like beaches, fishing, backyard BBQ s and countless festivals. With the kids out of school and many of us taking vacation time off from work, our chances of happening upon a poisonous snake or spider increases greatly. We've got quite a few things here in Louisiana that can't wait to kill us this summer. OK, not really, but sort of. Here are "7 Of The Most Dangerous Things In Louisiana" to be on the lookout for this summer.

If I ever witnessed this in life, I definitely wouldn't be around long enough to video it.

It's one more hidden danger that could seriously injure you or your family. Here's what you need to know and what to do if you encounter one of these spiders.

No reason to smash a June bug, right? Well, in walks "The Critter Catcher" and all these issues are solved.

Look, she TOLD him not to do that, OK?

74-year-old Russell Harding stepped out of his house last week to go somewhere when he noticed a GIANT 6 FOOT SPIDER WEB WITH A BIG OLE SPIDER IN IT covering the entire front of his garage!

This is a nightmare come to life, right?

Global BC Television’s Kristi Gordon was doing the a weather report last week when all of a sudden she was attacked by giant bugs! Well, not really, but sort of. A spider found it's way to the camera and scared the heck out of her!

A spider, a weather girl and some modern technology combine to bring us one TV's best bloopers so far this year.

Here is a scene that could be directly cut from a lot of our worst nightmares ever. It is raining spiders,literally. I don't know about you, but I would be setting the camera down, purchasing a flame thrower and calling a moving company if this happened at my house.

OK, maybe that title is a tad dramatic. But when you're as ignorant as I am when it comes to spiders, they will all tend to scare the ever living daylights out of you! That's exactly what happened to me yesterday while I was trying to mow my grass hay.
