2 within the last 2 days

smallest so far was the size of a dime
largest was as bug at a quarter and a half

i have yet to identify them but think they look like a wolf spider sorts

they are brown have hairy legs(visibal hairs to the eye) sorta fast runners

the torso has white stripes ( ) on the outer edge

anyone know what kind it is

wolf spider:

they do look an awful lot like that one i checked that one out on the net earlier this morning

i have one at home in a soda bottle i may take a pic when i get home and post it

is it this one? hehehe

i'd have to fucking shoot myself if one of those was ever near me.

haha no thank gawd

and yea i'm with you there i hate bugs

go samwise gamgee!

haha ruuuun froto.

hate spiders so much! almost as much as aliens, when i was younger i was playing in the woods and i came a cross this massive spider like 4inches big, and i thought nothing of it and i picked up the log it was on and i went to show my mother, needless to say, it bite me
kill them all subjugate! boo spiders

subjugate, i think you should get an exterminator

spiders in your house are good luck. i moved in here
with spiders everywhere on my patio in the back and
i've never had a bad thing happen with this house.

and tarantulas aren't that bad. my cousin had one as a
pet. the females are usually not aggressive. you can
pet them.

bf has a girl tarantula...when she shed her skin...sooo coool!
looked like 2 spiders

my friend had these tarantulas that got loose while i was in the room. the kind he had, if they bite you, you go into a 3 month coma. being around tarantulas has always been one of my biggest fears, but i wasn't as scared as i thought i would be. i just kind of froze while his roomate tried to get them out from under the bureau in his bare feet. damn i hate spiders.

Agreed. I shuddered pretty hard when I scrolled down across that picture.

in the summer ive had spiders crawl pass the monitor of the pc and behind the desk, and then i lost it and not know where it went. then
it just kind of disappeaered. i get real paranoid not knowing where
a spider could be. damn little things...

Man, I have always felt kind of paranoid about getting a spider in my bed. Imagine waking up and feeling a big ol' spider crawling up your leg??? I would flip out! I wouldn't even be able to sleep in a bed for weeks.

i cannot get a clear pic of the fucker in the soda bottle dammit

Let it out and then snap a picture!

put him in your palm and snap a pic.

The average person ingests 6 spiders a year whether you like it or not. Most probably sneak in while you sleep and never make it back out,

well, we all need to get fiber somehow

that's the worst feeling...when you're just about to go to sleep and you feel one run across your face!

never had one run across my face, but i've had one on my chest staring me down

On candystripe legs
The spiderman comes softly
Through the shadow of the evening
Sun stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom
And suddenly!
A movement in the corner of the room!
And there is nothing I can do
When I realise with fright
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight

Quietly he laughs and shaking his head creeps
Closer now closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadows
And quicker than flies
His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy don't struggle like that
or I will only love you more
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"

I knew that already (actually, I thought it was 10, not 6), but that doesn't bother me. If I woke up when I had a spider in my mouth, now, that would bother me.

Hahahaha, who wrote that poem Carina?

It's actually lyrics from a Cure song..i was waiting for someone to say something =)

Hahahaha, I can't really picture Robert Smith singing those words, oddness.

i have to admit... that's my favorite Cure song. i think i'll listen to it.

NO THANK GAWD

still didn't get a pic of your friendly household spiders to show off, jim??

couldn't get a decent pic through the soda bottle sorry

Ever see the Lullaby video with robert smith getting eaten by a giant spider? makes me wanna claw my eyes out
just watching it.
Jim, make sure that spider you got isn't a brown reclusive. i've read that they're spreading here. 10 minutes and you're all done.

it isn't i already sheckd on that

spalding, what the hell is that spider, thats the grossest thing ive ever seen

i've been listening to lullaby as it's my favorite cure song and i'm a huge dork... i apparently haven't seen the video... i don't recall...

it's a cool video
and awesome song indeed!

i just got the coolest cure shirt. from the '87 kiss me kiss me kiss me tour. i know i'm gay, so what.

i think yer cool not gay dread 104
i think i know the shirt yer talknig about too
heh
coolness

Call me eccentric, but I actually like spiders. They're kinda cool!

thanks. what if i told you about my stevie nicks
shirt? that's in the vicintity of gayness.

you have to consume your fear, people.
the next time you see a spider, eat it!!
it works

i kinda like spiders to, as long as they don't bother me like other bugs do (especially the flying ones or the ones that come out of your drains when they spray the sewers)

i have a rule with the spiders in my house. touch me and you're dead.
don't come near me, and you're ok. (hang out on the wall
all day for all i care!) unless i'm naked. then they're dead no matter what.

9
now

awww... who's friend is that?

Fuck, Spalding, that spider you posted is making me want to die. After I saw it I looked all around my computer room, under the table and shit. Man, that is a freaky spider. I would rather wake up with a tarantula crawling on me than that thing.

.......

fuuuuck...

Read that. Death from the bite of a brown recluse is pretty damn rare.

sorry. i'm just going by what a friend of mine from Georgia told me. i looked shit up on them about a year ago, when i heard they were spreading up here.
are the death rates rare because of the venom?
i thought it was because of their reclusive behavior, their "shyness"
like how a skunk would rather run away than spray

The venom isn't really that poisonous I guess. Most of the time, they don't even get a good bite. It says in there that many bites aren't felt or feel like a little pin-prick, and some aren't even noticed until hours later. But then it does say that some can be really nasty with immediate intense pain and cause a nasty blister and can become gangrenous if left untreated.

i've seen some pictures of the bites. they look horrible, almost like frostbite or something

Yeah, based on what I read, they usually look much worse than they are. It said something about the skin around the bite turning blue or grey and it gets really hard, like stiff leather.
