B.A.S.S. (Big, Ass, Scary, Spider's)

Seriously what is it with these big scary ass spider's and this time of year? It seems that there is one in every garden. This not so little fella was in my neighbour garden (I walked into a spider web the other day in the same garden and seemed to be constantly there in my face/hair)
I think mother nature has a scary sense of humour I suppose lol
