Spiders Are Out To Destroy Me - General

[QUOTE=killz2much;30534894]Animal cruelty?[/QUOTE] Blending an animal alive is probably considered inhumane, yeah.

Harvestmen (we call them daddy longlegs here) are fucking bros man. I'm currently sharing my bathroom with one. Ever since I let it stay I've had no other bugs in my house, I'd rather have just one harmless insect then 15 different kinds. I consider it a partnership really.

Yeah, they're great for catching flies.

Come to Norway. You can live at my place, and we can be arachnophobic together.

I'd be more worried about the dropbears if I were you [editline]18th June 2011[/editline] [url]http://australianmuseum.net.au/Drop-Bear[/url] Nasty shit.

I always feel something in my special spot whenever I read this thread.

It has venom that can cause some serious necrosis. It starts out being two little bite marks, and then it slowly eats away at your skin. Here's an example.

They don't do much permanent damage if you get treated soon enough. I had to go to the ER for two days to be on IV when the bite got worse. I had no idea it was a brown recluse bite and ended up with shitloads of pus pouring out of my arm. I ended up with a scar on my arm when it healed over.

Love to live in Sweden. No crazy spiders or snakes or anything venomus. (Perhaphs a viper snake that is somewhat dangerus to humans but its pretty rare.)

Every time I would start dreaming that night, no matter what the scene was (some office in the 60's, an old empty house, on a ship) some 20cm fucker like that was crawling on the walls and jumping at me at high speed. It was impossible to kill it in my dreams so I just had to wake up and fall back asleep.

Australia has bird eating spiders, they are huge, you dont wanna encounter them

[QUOTE=Ban Camp;30517052]Make love to the female Tarantulas! And they shall earn respect for you. BECOME ONE WITH THE ARACHNIDS! The tarantula's appearance is worse than its bite. Tarantula venom is weaker than that of a honeybee and, though painful, is virtually harmless to humans.

I find spiders interesting and not scary at all. I kept Chilean Rose Tarantulas like this one, and they never hurt anybody. :buddy: [img]http://webzoom.freewebs.com/chid/rosea%20rcf%20copychidsweb.jpg[/img] My favourites have to be the Jumping Spiders, they've got big eyes that look up at you. And Camel Spiders might look scary, but those myths about them are just that- myths. Most spiders will never try and bite you unless you provoke it in some way, and even then, they will only resort to their fangs if running away doesn't work.

I've had spider problems in my apartment too. For 2 years i had not seen a single spider, but then one night, dozens pop out of nowhere, crawling across the walls and shit. Must be some pheromone crap or something, organizing the mass exodus. I'm pretty sure there a hidden nests around here too, because i see thousands of extremely tiny spiders all around the place.

Why are you all so scared of spiders? Spiders are fucking awesome.

Late reply but on the drop bear post... [img]http://australianmuseum.net.au/Uploads/Images/18487/Drop%20Bear_big.jpg[/img] :v: Also, op, Burn. EVERYTHING.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think we are scared of spiders because our genes are actually really oldschool. I mean, long time ago people had reason to be scared of poisonous spiders, and they were scared of them I'm sure, but now we still got the same genes but we are way too advanced so.. something like that. in a couple of (thousands of) years we won't even blink I guess.

WARNING:BIG PIC INC. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/a_spider_attacks_eight_legged_freaks_001.jpg[/img]

here in Ontario we get these big ass spiders near the lakes, they hide under docks and eat fish. A fucking spider that eats fish. One time i was going out on my friends boat, and as we were untying the ropes, I was walking around to the other side of the dock, and one of these spiders ran up through the crack in the wood, I nope.avi'd and walked back around

[QUOTE=Checkers;30534455]I'm so sorry [img]http://info.stylee32.net/Troll/spider%20milkshake.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure if a person was to actually drink that, they would at the least probably start choking up. The hairs on tarantulas are defense mechanisms. If an animal starts chowing on them, the hairs are released and are prickly and I believe a little sticky. They cause irritation and choking. That's why I don't like tarantulas. I wouldn't want to hold one and end up wiping my face or something, not thinking, and end up with their hairs on me.
