This is the spider that bit me:

[rbnyc]

NOT, a brown recluse like my husband thought--just a grass spider. But it was pretty big and I screamed pretty loudly. And now I'm itchy all over.

1. we call those things wolf spiders

ewww ewww yuck yuck yuck I HATE spiders, and those are kinda aggressive when cornered yuck :(

[rbnyc]

2. I felt something in my hair.

I just kind of absently brushed it away and it bit me on the wrist. It was about 1 1/4 inches in diameter, but I don't live in Arizona anymore so that seems big.

I'm generally not afraid of spiders so it was pretty funny that I screamed. My husband became convinced it was a brown recluse, so we looked for pictures online. It surely was not.

7. my husband thinks *every* spider is a brown recluse

It's pretty funny, actually. Unless, of course, it's a black widow.

I don't mind spiders, either, and I'll let the little fellas live in the house (exceptionally large ones - approaching the size of a silver dollar go outside). I won't kill them (unless they're black widows; I don't think I could identify a recluse).

But if one gets on me? I do tend to freak out. All bugs (except roaches and ticks and fleas) are fine, so long as they're not on me or in my house. I do a ridiculous dance and shriek, though, if they're on me.

10. That ain't a wolf spider though

That's a wolf spider

14. Wolf spiders are cool

once one gets past the fact that they're humongous and creepy looking that is. They eat tons of other insects.

3. Oh, ick, ick, ick!!

Thank you for the nightmare. :scared:

4. You are truly a gentle person. Spiders that bite me

tend to get all flat and squishy.

5. Let's hope it's not a radioactive spider.

8. Ooh...

9. I just googled image search for Spiderwoman.

This is just one of the many that showed up.

11. not to hijack the thread, but is There a Spiderwoman?

IN the comics or movies? I confess I have never seen ANY Spiderman movie. Can't stand Toby McGuire

[WillParkinson]

16. Comics

There's been several.

One of them even had her own short-lived animated show.

12. I'm sorry but I'm hardwired for demolishing creepy things that invade my space & skin

I know I'm wrong.

[Dr Morbius]

13. It's enormous.

Bigger than my hand.
