"So, these are the kinds of things you see happen in Brazil, Thailand or some kind of foreign jungle place like that, but this was outside Annette Alaniz Guajardo's house in POTEET, TEXAS," the Facebook post said, KSAT reported.
Texas Parks and Wildlife officials tentatively identified the spider as a yellow garden spider which can grow up to an inch long. The National Wildlife Federation said bats are generally not on the menu for the spiders.
