Giant Tarantula

S H U D D E R ! ! ! ! :ahhh: funny thing is, i'm watching a movie about giant spiders attacking people at a ski lodge while i'm surfing for posts. :lol:

A BROWN RECLUSE? their venom causes necrotising fascitis at the site of the bite. i read about a woman who didn't get immediate treatment and lost her hand from a bite on the finger. i hope you came out of that bad experience all in one piece. as far as spiders in general go, i screamed for my mom to kill them if i saw one up to the age of 13. now i just grab a shoe and
'SPIDER ! .. SMASH SMASH !!!' also. :lol:

I love legos thats pretty dope.

Spiders are, on the hole, good things. We've had a group of daddy longlegs outside our back door for years now keeping the bug situation in check.

logically i understand that sweetie, but when i see one logic goes out the window and :ahhh: can't help it i'm just a girl ya know. :lol:

At my mom's place, we have an understanding with the spiders. They stay off of us and out of our stuff, and we leave them alone.
At my dad's place, centipedes, another much-maligned arthropod, fill that same niche of keep-the-bugs-out.

I'm not too bad about spiders, although anything much above the size of a nickel is on the target list. Small hunting spiders indoors are OK, but anything shiny is toast. OTOH, wasps, hornets and the like (but not honey bees) are all on the Smash On Sight list, and snakes are on the Call Animal Control list. Fruit flies are what pest strips are made for - one time, we came back from 2 weeks of vacation to find a half-empty can of Coke that had allowed thousands (well, hundreds) of fruit flies to take over the den. It took ages to clean the dried coca-cola fly footprints off the walls and ceiling.
