Home & Garden Spiders can get ****ed

[EliteQuackz]

Holy crap, if I saw this in any corner in real life I would leave the country and never return.

 

[showdownhero]

oh man.
seriously, screw you, that is the worst thing I have ever seen.

 

[Macca19]

Why do I keep looking at this thread?

 

[CLUBMEDhurst]

Wow. The last page of this thread will provide some much needed exposure therapy for the BF arachnaphobic society!

 

[ioppolo]

I present you with the Goliath Bird Eating Spider:

And in return I present you with this:

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

**** you man.

p.s.

There is a direct correlation between me looking at this thread and an increased tendency to look into the corners of the room I am currently sitting in.

 

[Lach72]

Man, that thing would have a crack at a Wedgetail.

 

[Lach72]

And I shit you not, I just killed a small spider crawling up my leg.
Not sure what type, after squashed it.
Had a guest stay at our house a while ago, and had a red back in bed with her...cue half hour of hysterical gibbering.

Are some of those giant spiders on the previous page fake? They look too "meaty" to be spiders, so wrong.

I have a spider story, short story but a decent one.

A few nights a go I was in bed and felt something on my back, felt like maybe part of a pillow or blanket but then I really felt a crawling sensation and reached back with the intention of brushing it off and then getting up to kill it.

It must've been instinct because I grabbed it between two fingers on the first go and flung my hand forward, then heard something hit the blinds. My first thought was that must've been something huge if I heard it hit the blinds from a few metres away.

I got up, turned the light on, and looked behind the suitcase I have just below my window and saw only one long spider leg. No spider, not under the suitcase or anywhere in the vicinity of the suitcase. I went baack to bet, relatively uncomfortable but satisfied that it's either dead or badly injured.

The next day, I'm walking to the kitchen and on the wall before I enter the kitchen is a spider about the size of a 20 cent piece...with quite an obvious gap where an 8th leg would be.

Not cool, knowing that thing was on me.

Well they are bird eating spiders, and South America seems to have alot of larger then life bugs.

I think the way the photos have been taken make the spiders look larger than they are/you can see more "details" I certainly don't think they've been shopped.

Yeah, Ive seen a documentary on Sth American (particularly Brazilian) bird eating spiders, with several accounts of them actually taking away and eating the most part of infants from Amazonian tribes. They went searching and with the limited time they had found 20 or so centimeter long bird eating spider

Imagine what's out there in the deep of the rainforests

Imagine what's out there in the deep of the rainforests

And to think people pay to travel to go into these places!

I've killed at least 3 white tails in my house in the last week alone, plenty of them around atm...

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah have killed many white tails also. Probably kill around 10 a year inside.

Got bitten by one last year, quite painful if left untreated.

I had my first 'in-car' spider experience today. Got in the car, closed the door, and with my usual observational demeanour (of recent times after seeing at least a spider a day in the house), saw a spider on the lower part or the drivers side window. I reasonably swiftly opened the door but the cunning little thing decided to hide down in a little ridge where I couldn't reach him with what I had (a straw). Anyway, whilst I was looking around the other side of the car for a pen or something sharper he decided to move so when I got back he was on an exposed bit of the door. I flicked him off onto the road and stepped on him.

It was only a small spider but having them so close on the drivers side window of the car is pretty disconcerting,

Your little pet?

NOT COOL MAN!!!!!

 

[Ron The Bear]

NOT COOL MAN!!!!!

Ha, only saw at the one at the back and just noticed the big one on his foot. Clearly the spiders' toilet, he'll have to use the other one or go outside.

 

[DerpWerls]

I have 2 cats and the only spiders I ever come across are daddy long legs which are harmless. They don't eat cockroaches but leave them dead in the hallway for me to scoop up and put in the bin.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Rockspiders are the worst kind.
