A friend of mine lived in Eastern Australia for a while. He told me the worst thing was a tarantula that was about 12 inches in diameter. He said he and his roomates found it in their room, and smashed it with a dartboard.

That gave me nightmares. :twitch:

That actually seems kind of sad, like killing a great predator or something.

I'll have you know I haven't clicked on one link in this thread.

Spiders and centipedes give me the heebie-jeebies big time.

Snakes, however, don't.

Anywhoo, we're exchanging gifts and as soon as he opens it I see the carcass of a large waterbug in the box...I screamed and jumped up and went to the furthest part of the room away from the offending box. I couldn't stop apologizing b/c to me the robe was now dirty. He thought it was the funniest thing in the world. Then he comes towards me with the box trying to get to the stairs to get rid of it. I then yell at him not to come closer, run to the opposite side of the room and let him continue downstairs...

Did we ever figure out what spider was actually in the room? [Smile]

Oh, was it a wolf spider? If so, it really doesn't want to be in the house. Catch and release it outdoors. Both of you will be much happier. Be warned, however - wolf spiders run FAST.

In Arizona, wolf spiders used to get into the house a lot. I never really minded them, except for the time that a large female (with all her hundreds of babies) decided to hang out in my shoe one night. In the morning, I tried to put the shoe on without looking in it, and felt a something large inside. I shook it out, and a huge spider fell out onto the floor and promptly scurried off. Then, when I glanced at the shoe which was still in my hand, baby spiders were boiling up out of it.

I felt really bad for that momma spider.

EEEE
I saw the spider outside on the screen, the same one.

So somehow in the middle of the renovations, it escaped.

Were there any baby spiders on your feet?
