Never tread on one, they can splay over a wide area. Especially the big ones:

I am glad that we have none like that here in Germany. A bit scary, that monster :o

Make sure Reece accompanies them next time...not much chance of them catching anything then :DL

What's that you say, Mr Tree, "Kill me! Kill me?" Just hold on a minute while I go home and whip together a flamethrower.

STEED 06-12-11 03:13 PM

Kill them, kill them all..

Two words

Camel Spider

Which strangely is neither associated with camels nor actually a spider.

Relatively harmless to humans, but high on the oogy scale. :yep:

Spiders & snakes is one reason I wont travel outside my country. Relatives head of to Aussie, no way man to many spiders over there! :nope:

The only poisonous spider we have is the Whitetail which came from Australia and the black widow. Very rare to see a black widow they hang out mostly in sand dunes but the whitetail is everywhere during summer, their bites are not fatal but you can lose a limb to gangrene if you do not get it treated. Rots your fresh :dead:

We have no snakes, scorpions or any other creepy crawly, though one creature which is freaky looking but doesn't seem to scare me like a spider does is the Weta. Harmless slow creatures.

Now how do you respond to that!!:hmmm:

krashkart 06-12-11 09:20 PM

I like spiders because they keep the other bugs from becoming invasive; but there is a limit to my level of tolerance. :yep:

The only genus(?) of spider that I have ever been able to hold in my hand :DL

^These are probably the most docile critters on the planet.

@kiwi: When I was much younger we lived next door some college kids that kept black widows (and piranhas) for pets. At some point they got tired of keeping the black widows and set them loose in the space between their home and our home. With nowhere else to go the wayward bastards (the black widows, not the college kids) ended up in our basement; more specifically in the corner of my bedroom where my bed happened to be. We didn't find out about that until a deep spring cleaning. Turned out that I had been sleeping a few inches above the nest for close to a year. I don't know what words my dad had for those guys next door, but if those words were anything like the words he reserved for me whenever I got into trouble (then they got off far too easy IMHO :stare:).

Yea, they are the reason we invaded Iraq. Exterminating the horrid things.

Reminds me of the Emerald Ash Borer. We have a problem with them in NYS. Saw one once, thought it was a frog at first it was so huge. I got closer and saw it was some kind of huge bug and I ran away.
