My 3 year old cousin got bit by a white tail spider on Christmas Eve morning. The thing was in her bed and bit her on the foot, bite looked disgusting.

I used to "feel" the presence of spiders whenever I woke up in the middle of the night... it probably started as a dream and what was thought to be there was not, after turning on the light and investigating my bed. It doesn't happen to me any more, because gradually my fear of spiders was decreasing. I used to be scared of something like a daddy longlegs, now I can hold them.

Tarantulas are pretty cool though - my friend had one but he knew I was shit scared of spiders. The only way to break my irrational fear was to hold it, and when I did, suddenly I wasn't that scared of spiders any more.

I hate spiders. They are so creepy and so tiny and they can move fast. I wish spiders didn't exist.

If you see a spider, kill the bastard. Don't put it outside like a pussy. They all deserve to die.

Only a pussy would be scared of spiders.

How does putting it outside make you a pussy?

That's the type of question a pussy asks

Well?

Had a huntsman inside my room the other week, right underneath the light switch. I didn't even realise it was there until I was inside the room and had turned on the light.

When I saw it I was a nervous wreck. Somehow got out of my room and didn't take my eyes off it at any point. After collecting myself for a minute I lured it out with a little fly spray then unleashed my thongs on it.

Was a little harder to fall asleep that night.

A few months ago due to the buildup of junk in my room i made it a point to check for spiders in and around my bed (the other spider thread on Bigfooty also heightened my fear of them).

Last night was the first time since i was little, but as i undertook my spider inspection, i found one was making its way along my mattress cover, about where my neck would be if i was to lie down straight away . Upon discovering it, i attempted to grab it... failed, then unloaded a lot of insect spray where it was last seen.

As a result i'll be having a large cleanout, and will make the bedroom spotless. In an effort to make the room less of a haven for spiders. I'll also be wearing winter sleeping clothes for the time being (pants, jumper & gloves.... i'd wear a ski mask, but i'd probably suffocate myself as a result).

Huntsmen. I can stand them if I can see them... when they disappear, Im not a fan. Im beginning to like them more cause the missus just freaks out at them. Just yesterday we had our first huntsman at home in 3 years, sitting in a draw that she had just opened to look for batteries! Classic! She was stuck in the room cause the draw opens in front of the door, and this hairy little bastard just looking at her when I had to come and take it out back

Earlier in the year, while at the shack, I found one in a cupboard and a mate hit it with his thong, fell behind the microwave and appeared dead. The missus goes to wash up next morning, moves a plate and it runs over her hand. She was outta there, I swear she had Usain Bolt well and truly covered!

But all other spiders, the slightly bigger than little ****ers, Mortein all the way

Wow, that IS Xtreme... My brother's got intense arachnophobia like that. When we were little me and him were climbing a paperbark tree in our backyard and he peeled off this massive sheet of bark. There were five or six huntmen under it and he fell out of the tree screaming.

He's feared/hated them ever since. I don't mind the little buggers.

 

[Benno_900]

Oh, your brother is a pussy!

C'mon, I think most people would react the same way if there was just one there. Don't give me this "harmless" shit, they are not cute.

My cleanout was the result of inspecting where i thought the spider went.... one too many cob webs, spider webs and general dust spots . I'm generally a clean person, but i've obviously been lazy in some areas.

I'm fine with spiders as long as they don't get too close. We only ever see dandy long legs or white tail ones around here. Even then they're usually in the toilet or bathroom.

Havn't seen a spider larger than a 50c coin for awhile (thank god!! ). They're usually about the size of a 10c coin at best.

I used to think nothing of huntsmen until about ten years when one large mofo jumped from the toilet wall to within a few centimetres of my face, as I was trying to squish it with a broom. I was convinced that those near-invisible threads of silk they produce are their main arsenal of fear.

They are shifty, ugly and ominous. They the devil's minions, or at least create the perception that they are, so they must be exterminated.

while we're squealing over a few huntsmen and red backs, in afghanistan they have these mothers to deal with.... **** al qaeda and the taliban

camel spiders, and this is what they can do...

another one in case you missed it..

 

[Thrawn]

Is that even true?

 

[Dan Moody]

i hope not but there is plenty of youtube around of them, they move lightning quick and run after you as well.

I wikipedia'd it, and those pictures can't be from this spider. Well, not the gaping hole in the leg one. Supposedly they run 10mph, which is pretty damn fast, but don't have venom and have a leg span at the largest of 5 inches.

Still, i'd be shitting myself.

Has anyone heard of this Corey Wild bloke? This guy is nuts and is my pick to be our next Steve Irwin. By that I mean our next wildlife "expert" to get himself killed pissing wildlife off.

In this clip he just happily lets a Redback crawl all over his arm like it were a harmless bug. Spiders generally don't give me any dramas but I kinda draw the line with Redbacks, Whitetails and the likes.

had one of these on my school bus on Friday.

Was next to a mate on the window and he just jumped into my seat. It was hanging on it's web so i blew it and it jumped onto the seat onto my arm (i have arachnophobia) and i had a heart attack. Pushed the guy off my seat (I lol'd after) and he fell into the aisle and i just went up the front. Some chick got it after about 5 minutes, but i stayed at the front.

Scariest type of animal ever. I have nightmares about camel spiders, and they are the thing keeping me away from Afghanistan.
