the wandering spider is found in bananas. when shipped by boat the spiders would be found on the vessels. this is what I have been told about the origin of this superstition..

Funny. I told this guys about the wandering spider on saturday, as I tossed his snacks overboard (4 bananas)

Without showing my age I definitely remember the Bingle Banana. Must have a green or red one dry rotted in some tackle box somewhere. Was a great lure back then.

Alas. I remember it more for the name. I think I saw one once.

Back in the day of sailing ships the crew would carry limes to fight scurvy ,so the called them people limeys. Well the bananas in the hold of the ship would emit gasses that would ripen and then rot the limes. Put some fruit next to a banana and see what happens?
