Physical Description. Cane spiders are large, flat-bodied arachnids with two rows of eyes and long, hairy legs. Their bodies are about an inch long, with a leg span that reaches up to 5 inches wide. Cane spiders are brown, with a cream-colored band encircling the top of their backs, and black bands or spots on their legs.
FIGURE 1. Female Banana Spiders (Nephila clavipes) are one of the largest orb-weavers in this country, rivaled in size only by female Black-and-Yellow Garden Spiders (Argiope aurantia). The male Banana Spider is pictured above in the lower left.FIGURE 2.anana spiders have even been seen feeding on beetles and dragonflies.

Oddly, some banana spiders are reported to display an almost manic fear of cockroaches.
