Was US19 busy at the time?

I don't know the technical name for them, but we call them Banana Spiders up here (a few hours north) because of their yellow and black abdomens.
They're annoying as hell. They build webs everywhere and build them fast. I have parked my car in the driveway, gone inside, and come back out two hours later to find that I had a full-blown web between my car and our basketball goal. You almost can't go 5 feet in the woods without running into one of their webs.

Bloody hell! You have pterodactyls in your area?

the missus recently managed to hit a large deer on the motorway, which her 3 month old car greedily devoured, costing £4k to put right. New rad, air con condenser and regas, intercooler, rad fan, bumper, grille, trim and a repaint. Yoiks!
