Understanding the meaning of big SPIDER!

[AlienGirl]

I met Clockspider last night at 2 am. He was hanging around the door saying "Sup?" and making Trollface at me. When he walked, he stomped audibly, the sound of eight marching hairy feet.

1. You're going to need a bigger wall.

Yes, that's big alright.

Looks fast too, and that's the creepy part.

It's a beauty though, and I hope you can capture it and let it go back outside.

That's probably the largest spider I've ever seen.

Inside, at least.

[AlienGirl]

2. I think it went outside by itself

It opened the door and went out...I think...

8. An exterminator once told me "You're never more than three feet away from a spider."

Glad I could help.

:grouphug:

[libodem]

4. Scream

Run. Slam. Faint.

[Forkboy]

5. That's awesome!

It also resembles Kurt Vonnegut's famous drawing of his asshole lol.

[AlienGirl]

7. Asshole Spider! I like it...

[Taverner]

6. AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Make it go away!!!!!

[petronius]

9. Extremely cool! (But I'd probably be able to cancel my trip to the bathroom

after meeting that.)

What kind of spider is it? Huntsman? :shrug:

i'm not too bothered by spiders, but that one gives me the willies a bit. i'm laughing, though, imagining how my husband would have reacted to that monster.

11. I met his ancestor back in the 70's

I was sitting in a chair in the living and calmly looked to my right and saw this about one foot away from my head.

Here let me fix this picture.




I don't think my feet touch the ground as I leaped from the chair to the hallway. It took a big damn hammer to kill it. It was before I installed, what I like to call "The catch and reach program." Unless I find you in my bathtub and I'm naked. Sorry buddy, but your leaving by the drain.

15. Why did you have to post that?!

:scared: I almost had a heart attack ;(

12. In Florida, such encounters tend to happen on days ending in 'y'.

Lots of these running around down there (golden silk orb weaver):



Big, but not really dangerous

[graywarrior]

13. Florida spiders are the creepiest and most pissed off looking things ever.

[JCMach1]

18. Exactly, the bigger and meaner the bugs, the bigger the spiders

[FloridaJudy]

14. Reminds me of the line from Annie Hall

"There's a spider in your bathroom the size of a Buick"

16. KILL IT WITH FIRE!

ugh... i have the shivers just looking at it.. i hate hate HATE spiders..

funnies aside, I pretty sure im phobic.. If I unexpectedly see one reflexes take over and I dart away and my arms flail around.. I whacked myself in the face pretty good once and left a bruise..
Just typing this im getting a tingling feeling over my skin like they are crawling on me..

And if I had seen something like that in -my- room? I know I would need a xanex or a bottle of wine

[lukasahero]

23. I would need a new house

Right there with you on the phobia (my hands are sweating as we speak). Which begs the question - why did we click the link? Arg!

17. Was it too big

for a Hoover?

:scared:

[AlienGirl]

26. Not too big for the Hoover Dam.

[Enthusiast]

19. I crushed a big one last week.

It was outside on the driveway. I crushed it with the tip of my cane. It was very satisfying. I believe it was a Wolf Spider, very large and heavily built.

[RushIsRot]

20. Roach on stilts.

[Demoiselle]

21. I like spiders!

Clearly I read Charlotte's Web too many times as a child.

[meegbear]

22. ...

[hunter]

25. I leave most spiders alone.

They eat things that are worse.

When my kids were small I was very aggressive against the dangerous spiders, black widows for example, but I'm not so much any more. I still wouldn't have black widows in the house but I'll bet there are a few in my garage.

The large fast spiders like yours I'll capture and put outside because I don't like it when other people scream.

[Flaxbee]

27. Me, too. I respect them; they serve a very useful purpose.

I don't like them on me - uncontrollable flailing - but I won't kill one in the house (unless it is a black widow or a brown recluse (not that I have any idea what a brown recluse looks like)) or outside.

They're also beautiful in their own way, and spider silk is freaking incredible.

I don't understand killing them just because they exist and look different. Kill all the spiders and we'd all be eaten alive by bugs.

[Enthusiast]

29. It's a male spider. It will only come back inside

because it is searching frantically for a female. They act crazy looking for females. And they are more venomous than females.

[Arctic Dave]

28. I would be patching bullet holes in my wall if I saw that thing.

Did you charge it room and board?

[southpaw]

30. In America? Wow!

In Oz, they have to deal with beasts like this!
