Giant Spiders
Jump to: Newest in thread
I don't usually kill spiders but the one i got last night that crawled behind my bed headboard was a giant nasty looking bastard! It had long hairy legs,a huge arse and big fangs and definitely wasn't a common english house spider! I'm not bothered about small ones but i couldn't sleep knowing that beast was behind my head  |

I'm allergic to spider bites
Ended up in AE several times, 3yrs ago I had to have a chunk taken out my arm as it turned necrotic
Last week I got corned in my bedroom by the biggest bugger I've ever seen, it was watching me.
Everytime I moved, it moved!
I had to climb over my bed to grab the hairspray.
Blasted it & ran screaming from the room
It landed in the cats water bowl!
It took me an hour to go back & check it was dead, at which point the bowl got thrown out of the window - I wasn't convinced it was really dead.
The bowl hit my car, bounced & landed in my neighbours garden, just as she walked out her door.
I did apologise
That night. It's bigger uglier brother was on my ceiling.
I slept on the settee |

I'm guessing, and this is a guess, you have a very slight touch of arachnophobia...   |

Honestly, it was like a scene from that film.
It kept twitching side to side everytime I moved!
I never used to be scared of them, in fact I used to drive my mum crazy as I wouldn't clear a cobweb out of my kitchen window - I really hate flies, figured the Web was better than fly spray
But sincr being bitten 3yrs ago, ending up on an IV, surgery to my arm, and then the reactions I've had several times this year while in my garden
Yes, I've got arachnophobia |

Sorry if I scared you, was just out for a stroll. But I’m ok now, just a few bumps here and there and in need of my asthma pump!

Oh I've got all sorts of weird and wonderfuls lodging at mine right now. I give them nicknames (not individually, but shape and action based)
So far the rambo trapeze fuckers are the smartest of the lot when it comes to catching munchies. There's 6 of them around the kitchen strip light like a small army, laying it wait for the dumbass bugs that are drawn to the light at night.

My friend could hear a tapping in the night that got on his nerves so he called some in and he said to get them out of the house as it was a black widow calling for a mate and it was under his mattress |

"Huntsman spiders can get pretty big, might have been one of those.
Not sure you get huntsman spiders in this country ... wrong climate ...
It was probably more a wolf / house spider "
I googled and I think you can get them in the uk

I had a huge one run across my chest whilst I was laying on my bed the other night. I freaked out and jumped up and completely lost where it went so I could barely sleep that night as I couldn't stop thinking it was going to crawl on my face. That's not exaggerating saying it was huge. Probably about 5 inches leg tip to tip. One of those bastard garden spiders |

I love spiders; Absolutely fascinating little (and sometimes, not so little) creatures
Did you know that the common Giant House Spider (the big beauties you find scuttling across your floors in the Autumn) are the world’s fastest running spider? |

Spiders are generally great for us. Research identifications if you are worried.
A woman in the USA has just had a large venomous spider removed from her ease. If bitten, it can cause flesh decay - it had crawled in during sleep |

I'd like bigger or at least a perky pair, but then if they were bigger I'd probably whinge about back ache. Who knows.

Remember everyone- spiders are more scarred of us than we are of them.
......unless it’s something like a Brazilian Wandering Spider which can leap over six feet and who’s venom is potent enough to kill a human in under ninety minutes
Sweet dreams all

"Is it not the 'spindly legged' ones, Cellar Spiders, I think, that go around eating the others?"
Yes indeed, Pholcid spiders aka Cellar spiders or ‘Daddy Long Legs Spiders’ are voracious predators and even prey upon Giant House Spiders |

Does anyone here remember the children’s series entitled simply, ‘Spider’ from a few years back?
It depicted this endearing, hairy critter who was best friends with a little boy and accompanied by a different folky type song every episode, showed the best friends exciting adventures (like paddling in puddles together).
It was rather sweet in fact but the intro was the best part |

Killed 3 of the bastards last night. Huge ones as well.
Like you, I leave the little ones alone but the big bastards have to die.

We’ve had some massive ones and they seem very bold this year.
I don’t like. Why can’t they just skulk in the shadows and come out when nobody can see them?
Going around terrifying innocent people is not the way to do things. |

Her ear. She woke up heating sounds similar to when you get water in your ears, so went to hospital. They found this huge spider had crawled in. If it bites, its venom causes skin to decay, including needing amputations.
Luckily they removed it from her ear, without it biting her. They like calm, darker spots. |

Crikey!! I had the same last night!! Parading along my skirting board, bold as brass. Couldn’t catch the bugger at all. I try not to kill either. Moved like greased lightning. Managed to corner it and to half crunch it with a walking stick. Ugh. Slunk off down the side of wardrobe and died.
Felt bad. Even though I’m arachnophobic.  |

I buck the general trend and like spiders.
I particularly like garden spiders, as they often have interesting markings.
Spiders are more than welcome in our house to keep the flies at bay.
My ex is scared of them and once lept away from a "spider" that was actually the green bit off the top of a tomato |

In terms of total leg span diameter, the Giant Huntsman Spider is technically the largest spider in the world with the aforementioned span reaching up to (and OVER in a few cases!) 12 inches in some specimens.
However, if sheer girth and bulk floats your boat, then the Goliath Bird Eating Spider is your critter of choice for as it’s name suggests, it’s fucking huge! |

We have a huge one in our house like the size of your hand he is called Bob(the big bastard) not seen him for a few weeks though then sat in the garden last night i felt a tickle on my foot looked down to see a big hairy garden spider looking up at me.
I try not to show my fear around the kids either.

I'm absolutely terrified of them and my friends all keep posting updates about huge spiders....I want to hibernate until spring. Apparently peppermint helps so I'm buying some essential oils.
I have an overnight stay this weekend with someone that also hates spiders...I'm a little concerned that we will be cornered by one |

The old tradition of holding a little money spider and circling it over one’s head three times in order to acquire a fortune?
I do call’eth bullshit!
Hell, I bought a tarantula and did exactly the same and couldn’t even win a quid on a bloody scratch card |

"I'm allergic to spider bites
Ended up in AE several times, 3yrs ago I had to have a chunk taken out my arm as it turned necrotic
Last week I got corned in my bedroom by the biggest bugger I've ever seen, it was watching me.
Everytime I moved, it moved!
I had to climb over my bed to grab the hairspray.
Blasted it & ran screaming from the room
It landed in the cats water bowl!
It took me an hour to go back & check it was dead, at which point the bowl got thrown out of the window - I wasn't convinced it was really dead.
The bowl hit my car, bounced & landed in my neighbours garden, just as she walked out her door.
I did apologise
That night. It's bigger uglier brother was on my ceiling.
I slept on the settee "
Made me laugh (other than the A&E bit which sounds nasty xx) |

I never kill them either but the other night I was sat at the back door having a smoke then all of a sudden a monster of a spider ran right up my arm then the sleeve of my t-shirt. My girlfriend cant make me strip as quick as I did that night. I literally ran it upstairs bollock naked. Came back down half hour later and proded and shook my pile of clothes with a broom
