[ioppolo]

#$%^$^&%$# what the f***!

You forgot to mention the dead whitetail's mate crawling across your face as you slept later that night, seeking revenge.

Maybe the killing of them was a warning of what would happen to the others if they dare venture into his room.

I managed to step on a huntsman about a month or so ago, didn't really notice until I saw a dead one laying in the middle of my floor, instead of cleaning it up I decided to put it near the front of my door for a warning to any other spiders that dare come into my room!

As someone who would destroy every cane toad known to man kind I kinda like this artlcle I spotted this in today's Townsville Bulletin. Here's a section of it. Yay for Tarantulas in my book. As long as they stay in their spot and not invade mine, I'm happy.

THEY may be creepy and crawly, but tarantulas could become man's best friend in the war against one of Australia's worst pests.

Large native spiders, including the Australian tarantula, the wolf spider and the racing stripe spider, have all been found to prey upon cane toads.

Experts believe the stealthy arachnids are so successful at hunting the toxic toads, they could be credited with keeping the amphibians' numbers down across North Queensland.

They have suggested residents who want to keep toad numbers at bay in their backyard, should attract spiders into their garden.

****ing sit down to use my laptop last night, whilst my 6 year old is in the chair next to me watching a movie on the desktop PC, for a black spider to casually walk across the chair arm. Jump up trying to quickly get the laptop on the desk without dropping it, whilst getting maximum distance from the spider until I can get a shoe to kill it. Not the way to impress one of my progeny.

Still as we have red-backs out side I wasn't waiting around to closely examine it whilst sitting down. Thankfully just a 'normal' black spider, soon smashed into many pieces. Again though, I will happily pay $10 or $20 a week to a legitimate scientific organisation set up to design a virus or disease that will kill off spider kind totally and permanently. Surely there's some poor scientists out there who can see they can make a fortune helping us?

There should be a 'Snakes can get ****ed' thread. Much more common to come across and you can't (providing you're sane) trap and relocate a snake like most people can with a spider. It's pretty much a case of don't return to that part of the garden for a couple of days.

Spiders are scarier ^^

They have 326 eyes and hair all over them....does that appeal to you?

**** that. Snakes aren't sneaky, creepy and evil like spiders are.

Snakes are creatures to be wary of, and careful around. One is sensible and composed around a snake.

Spiders are creatures to run screaming from in terror, and hide in the corner while the wife gets to do the necessary deed.

Pretty much. Snakes invoke rational fear and caution. Spiders are an eldritch horror that strike the deepest and most personal terror into the hearts of any mortal man or woman (except Mum and the missus).

Reckon if the Bible was written today, it'd be a spider that tempted Adam and Eve. They seem to have replaced snakes as nature's #1 boogeyman.

 

[SugarShane]

Snakes live on the ground, it's easy to know where they are and where they're going. Spiders generally live above eye level. That's evil shit. Means they have the added dive-bomb attack they can use at any time.

Where the **** do you live where snakes are more common than spiders?

I reckon ive seen about 4 or 5 snakes this summer (including a 4 foot long browny crawling across my shoe). I reckon I saw that many spiders on Monday alone.

 

[ioppolo]

Killed some Redbacks that were under the back patio last night...such joy.

 

[Puntroad]

I would see just as many dangerous snakes as I would see dangerous spiders. Obviously huntsman spiders pop up all the time but they aren't a worry.

Coastal taipans, red belly blacks and eastern browns are pretty common where I live, carpet pythons and tree snakes are probably equivalent to the huntsman in terms of danger and abundance.

I don't even know where to start really, don't understand how snakes aren't 100x scarier than spiders. Must come with the territory.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

As per the tile......Spiders can get ****ed.....that is all

Hope you stood very still mate ..........

Used to see snakes all the time when I was working in rural SA, a tiger snake south of Kingston was the worst of them, he stood up threatening my car, evil bastard.

But yes, spiders cause me to be irrationally afraid.

On snakes, 3 years ago my friend and I were walking through some grasslands/gravel road etc to take some photos with his new SLR camera. It was a Monday night, probably low to mid 20s, it was nice, about 8-8.30. We were walking along this gravel road, just talking about whatever, when all of a sudden, my mate's foot is less than a few inches from a brown snake.

Neither of us saw it, it hissed at us, we both shit bricks, screamed like girls and ran about 20m quicker than you could snap your fingers.

Got a few photos of it, luckily we both got out of it unharmed, was pretty scary

Right click, view image on the picture to get a better look.

**** that, snakes shit me to tears

It need to have a new name.. Headless Snake sounds good.

 

[Flawed Genius]

That **** is looking straight at you.

"Come back, you mother****ers!"

 

[edgie]

Snakes I make sure I watch where I'm walking if I'm out bush and I have spotted about 2 in my life and been able to keep my distance safely. Have some friends who sometimes have snakes in their yard.

Spiders you can't see at the best of times, and get right up in your face and in every nook and cranny of the house.

Had a big grey wolf spider crawl across my fingers today at work whilst climbing a ladder, lucky it was only a 3 foot drop cause I wasn't hanging around.

Couple of spider stories recently.

haha, actually dropped the heavy box I was carrying with a work mate, twisted my ankle trying to jump over it and let out probably the most feminine sound ever to come out of a males voice box before.
