No kidding, y'all need to soak your socks in kerosene so the ants don't crawl up your leg and eat your candy asses right off.

I like that phrase. Very visual.

best quote of the year!

we used to have giant, jumping wood spiders in our cellar as a kid. We heated with wood and they were everywhere. harmless but scary when 2-3 jump on you getting wood for the fire.

running out now for some kerosene, or will diesel/purple parts cleaner work?

i ate a roasted tarantula in Vietnam on a dare. it was weird. the Thorax(?) tasted like liver, and the rest was just nutty.

my anxiousness around spiders is not random. as a kid i was hiking at hueco tanks. i was a skinny kid, so i could really cram myself into some tiny spaces. one cracked opened up into a small room so i took a break to enjoy the coolness of the space. i leaned into a corner..it felt fuzzy. i turn around and flip on my feeble flashlight..big mistake. the corner was a column of daddy long legs (i think..i didnt take a sample) !! they were moving in unison..undulating. my skin looked like a plucked chicken with all the goosebumps and i flat out hauled ass..i screamed and got some BATS flying..

shiver.

I had a spider in my ear when I was a kid

I'm not sure how you managed to get photos of my mother-in-law before she put her makeup on, but when she finds out that you posted them to the internet there'll be hell to pay.

I want to know why she was in Trek's yard with no make up on..


I've only screamed once because of a spider and that was in Australia....

That's all I have to say about that.

Ah banana spiders....home...... You need to show these guys just how big those boys are. That will creep them out...huge.

Odd that I can't see the OP pictures on my PC with Chrome but they are there on my iPad????

I try not to kill our few small house spiders. I figure that they are eating something else that flies or crawls that is even smaller.

I did almost walk into a tropical spider web (complete with nasty spider) in the wilds of an island off of Panama looking for a pocket beach to get nekkid with my wife. Kind of took the edge off the mood.

yes, non-toxic but they can bite and shoot those little hairs into your skin, which will then itch real bad

I'm not sure what they eat other than smaller insects - if they eat scorpions you are in luck!

If you do decide to get rid of it, be sure to roast the hairs off before you eat it.

I had that happen while wearing my motorcycle helmet...five minutes into the ride.

I think it was carbon canyon but I used to ride my mountain bike up and down the fire truck roads. I would usually see a spider or a few of them but one day the road was literally COVERED with them.

Large 5 or so inch diameter tarantulas. I was riding through this huge swarming mess willing myself not to fall (because if it was going to happen that day it was going to happen there). It was like something from Indian Jones.

It was crazy. I will never go there again.

Ever.

It's actually "pissants" and that's a Dale Earnhardt line.

And, yes, I definitely have arachnophobia. Not afraid to admit it, either and I cheered when I read the story about the mashed Tarantula. I would have sheet my drawers if I'da looked over and seen a Tarantula on my shoulder.
