    yeah i hate spiders too, i often see poisonous looking ones around my house, even then in my backyard, some yard cleaners we hired found a whole nest of black widows next to our shed, so you can see how bad it can be, the only spider i can stand are daddy long legs, theyre the most deadliest spider, but there teetch are way too small to penitrate human skin, so they are harmless to us.

    Next time you act scared about spiders...

    The average human eats 5 spiders in his sleep during his life.

    Some how I find that very hard to believe. I did however eat a fly whist riding my bike a few years back. It really felt nasty and made me want to vomit.

    A few years ago? I have that about 4 times a month (I bike a lot through fields and stuff). Though all the alcohol kills the insects so I don't worry about it :smt082

    babu: well at least in scandinavia our little creepy crawlies don´t have poison like many other places.

    But ok, if you are allergic,you can get an allergic reaction from wasps hornets (those gives me the creeps) bees, and spiders but nothing really serious if you aren´t hyper allergic.

    If we are talking about the adder/viper Vipera berus (if you are allergic to the other stuff like bees etc.) then you can get an allergic reaction from that snake too.(it is the only snake we have in Scandinavia with poison of what i know of).

    other than that then we really don´t have many animals with poison.

    so aracne phobia is more a thing we just live with, but the scariest shit i remember were when i saw the film Arachnephobia there went a couple of the biggest spiders i have seen on danish ground (it freaked me abit),
    but the biggest i have ever seen was named Don Alejandro , that one was also in that old house.

    and that one was as big as my palm is(not my hand , only the palm)and you could see the hairs on its legs.

    so yes you could call them mutant spiders but they were just normal spiders of Denmark .
     
  10. I don't like spiders, every spider I find I squash, no compromises I'm afraid.

    Not to take your glory away but thats tiny. You should see the size of the black widows I have been getting this year. Their body is three times that size. When I use ot live in Orinda I had a wolf spider its main body was the size of my hand.

    For some reason spiders eally seem to be bad this year. Oh and if one is bad picture waking up 3am to use the bathroom looking up and seeing 1000's on your ceiling because a nest of them just hatched. That happen to me twice in Orinda. I really hate spiders.

    It was nuts and it happened twice to me. We use to get tarantulas also. Their bodies were the size of your palm of your hand. Although, that was funny... I had a hamster and a french poodle during that time and we would put the hamster in one one those balls so they can run around the house. Normally the dog would chase the hamster to one end of the house than the hamster would chase the dog back. One night we heard the ball make a weird clunck and than the dog stark barking. We thought the hamster was out of the ball ends of the hamster following its path ran over the tarantula and as we entered the hall it ran over it a second time coming back towards us. The tarantula did not have a clue what hit it. The good thing is the hamster stunned it enough so we were able to easily pick it up put it in a box and take it up a hill about a mile away and release it. Not sure were these tarantuals entered the house but we had the hamster do this on a few occasions. My house in Orinda was like spider heaven. If you like spiders I would recommend that house.

    Haha, that happened to my mother when she swated a huge, pregnant spider. Thousands of little babies popped out, and she had to vaccum them all up. It was nasty.
     
  16. sorry...theres not a WOLF spider in the modern world that has a body the size of a human hand. Even a VERY small person. You either had a very vidid dream or your full of poo.

    Not to "take your glory" but I take bioligical studies very seriously.

    BTW..if you have proof of such a "True" Wolf spider I'll make you and me both very famous in the world of science.
