White Tail Spider

[Schism]

Heres a couple of pics, dunno if this works i've never uploaded to imageshack or anything before:

It's healed nicely really, compared to some other pics i've seen on the net.

It's been a while but i still have a bump where the scar is i think it's permanent, must be scar tissue underneath. But there has been no complications thank ****

They hunt at night. If it's been happening for a while, probably a massive wolf spider. Hopefully not covered in babies like this

I've told the story before I think.....

Coming home from uni to see this HUGE spider slowly moving accross the driveway near the back door. Seemed to be in the process of being eaten alive.

Still, just in case I decided to kill it...So I stomped on it.

Unfortunately, when I stomped on it, all the tiny insects that looked like they were eating it started racing up my leg, my whole shoe was covered in them!

I went on a 'rampage' (must have looked ridiculous for anyone next door), jumping and stamping on as many of the critters I could - there must have been hundreds, maybe even thousands of them.

After a while I couldn't see anything anymore (the white concrete was now a brown, gooey mess about 2m square), and I realised that all the ones on my shoes/legs were now gone too.

That awful sensation came over me (fear/repulsion/tingles/shakes/something crawling up your spine), and I raced inside, tore my clothes off and jumped in the shower.

The water going down the plug-hole was full of tiny black and brown spiders - it took a few minutes for them to all be washed off. They were still a few in my hair when I was drying off 15 minutes later.

That was the end of the story there, or so we thought.

About a month later, we started getting (adult) spiders in the house. First it was just the odd one or two, then a couple every night, then the last day there would have been a dozen, coming out of every air-vent, in every room.

So in the words of Pink (wife's stereo going, quite apt), we "burnt that ****er down".

...........

(not really, just moved to a hotel while it was fumigated, the guy reckons he'd never seen such a complex lair of adult spiders as what was established in our roof).

Lair? Wtf?

 

[Simon_Nesbit]

oh, and in other news, there's what looks to be a giant mouse (size of your fist) in a sac in the next door neighbour's spider-tree.

In my old house we used to get what looked like wolfies at the start of every summer waltzing through the games room with babies on their back. But they were usually reasonably small, say about twice the size of a large redback, and always on the carpet near this big brick and copper fireplace so they were easy pickings. You could virtually set your watch to them as soon as the hot weather started. Used to just spray them, the babies couldn't scatter far in the carpet and died from the spray. Then the good old vacuum made an appearance and that was the end of that.

The big ones hung out the front, there is a huge umbrella tree or whatever not far from the front door. Wasn't unusual to pull up at night with the headlights pointed at the door and see a huge one on the screen, and 2 or 3 more huge ones hanging out on the wall/gutter/window.

Could be a bat.

I was getting our cat in one night and he ran past me at the door and dropped something in the hall. Other cat comes over and they're both looking at it. At first I thought it was a mouse but when I got there I thought what the **** is that?

I bent down for a closer look when all of a sudden these wings shot out, cats jump 4 feet in the air, and a bat takes off upstairs, hotly pursued by the cats.

Caught the bat by a window, had look at him and let him go. Buggered if I know how the cat managed to catch him though.

When I lived at Keith & Murray Bridge we got huge Huntsmen

I cannot stand spiders, the bigger they are, the worse I feel

Half a can of Mortein does the trick

 

[showdownhero]

Scary ****er

 

[incubi]

Bloody hate all spiders personally, although im getting better around them.
And a warning to la trobe students, be prepared to find spiders on/behind books on the third level of the borchardt library.

 

[breeno]

^

Haven't seen one yet? What types?

 

[incubi]

look like house spiders to me, not really an area of expertise but ive seen a couple and know others who have, probably more of an issue if you are looking at less popular books

 

[tb_fanboy]

Haha I love the video. Last year we had a huntsmen in the car and lost sight of it trying to kill it. Had to drive home with it somewhere in there- at night

 

[tb_fanboy]

Now upon reading last few pages I am constantly checking every nook and cranny around me for spiders

15 Years ago my oldman was in a business meeting and they had a break so he thought he would go to the toilet and back one out

Got bitten on the nuts pretty full on and he recons for about 6 years after once a year it would just flair up and give him all sorts of pain

Funny thing is he came out the meeting with his pants down

After the floods in Pakistan, millions of spiders took refuge in the trees.

Would not be volunteering to get a footy out of one of those.

It's their footy. It was always their footy.

Those trees + flamethrower = awesome time.

 

[Macca19]

Those trees are insane!

 

[Smoooothy]

Think twice about hopping in your pool next time...

She might be deadly, but there's no way I'm gonna leave her to drown in there

Why the bloody hell not?

Surely they milked that ****er of its venom before putting it in the pool filter.
