So I find this spider in my shed....

[SimpleS14]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cd/Black_Widow_11-06.jpg


...and I'm scared as fook to reach in there to get anything in fear of getting bitten.

I just opened to door as I was about to go in...then BAM...I see it crawling on its web and I can't help but notice that red marker. I'm going to have to toss some strong fogger (industrial strength haha) in there before I can get my sideskirts and start painting them.

Anyone else scared of certain spiders?

[mrmephistopheles]

While I don't like them, per se, I'm not afraid of spiders. I had to do the 'kill a spider for the wife' bit tonight.

[conner]

I am an exterminator. I wouldn't really worry about it too much. Black Widows are pretty common here in VA. It won't bite you unless you disturb it. So just go in there with a news paper and squish it. Look for eggs too. They look like little brown balls in/near the webs. Just sweep them down and wipe them off away from your house and you should be fine. If you do get bit by it though don't panic. The venom from one Black Widow will make you feel like you have the flu for a while, and then it will go away. Now if you get bitten by a Brown Recluse go to the doctor ASAP. But I have seen plenty more Black Widows than Brown Recluses. Good Luck.

[SimpleS14]

Thanks for the info Conner....gawd I can't imagine what I would do if I saw a Brown Recluse. Damn I hope it doesn't have any eggs. :/

[SDS13COUPE]

Torch it. Problem solved.

[vinhisbored]

i've seen like 10 of those in my garage.. and sorry if it's cruel, but they've all found their way under one of my shoes. i'm just too damn scared to risk getting bit by one.

[koukikat180sx]

ugh... I hate spiders. :( They freak me out. I always see them hanging out outside my bf's house. they just chill on the wall when its dark then crawl back into the hole during the day.

[mRclARK1]

I used to have a thing about spiders. They would always bother me a little.

Then I spent some time in the jungle...

After you see insects the size of your hand (and bigger); little spiders don't seem so bad. :ugh:

[89dc240]

Ahh speak of the brown recluse. I want to let everybody in the northeast know that when I spent a couple summers in Texas. I brought home a few to PA. I saw one crawlin around in my stereo at home. That was cool. I dont know if the ones I brought(accidentally) could have survived, but I have seen several up here since then.(bout ten years ago) Little frikkers frick me the frick out!

And whats up with JUMPING SPIDERS!?!?

Whose idea was that. WTF!?!

[EAS13]

Banana Spiders are the ones that freak me out. They get all huge, and I swear they chase you.... :eek:

The previous house I lived in was infested with spiders, I had to kill at least two daily, just in my room. One day my mom found a huge tarantula-sized spider in the bathroom, and everyone was too afraid to kill it, so my dad ended up catching it in a jar. Then my brother fed other spiders to it.

[pignose4life]

fck all spiders i got bit by a black widow looking thing when i was 7 and rushed to emergency and it turns out it wasnt venomis so i they didnt have antidote stuff and i had to just sit out the pain =[

have you guys ever heard of the "camel spider" native in Iraq... that shits can be as fast as 10mph, thats like a human sprinting...

Camel spider, now that's a spider

[driftn240]

i know a guy that got bit buy a Brown Recluse over 20 times and now hes amuned to them, its crazzy

[wootwoot]

Brown Recluse, Black Widow, and Banana Spiders are all SUPER common in Florida. Seeing them doesnt even freak me out unless its crawling on me then its explicit screaming tweak out time

[s13gold]

well dont touch it..hahaha.

[mRclARK1]

Camel spider, now that's a spider

I learned something new... I was suprised by this, considering how they look, but it's actually not a spider apparently (and rumors of it's size are greatly exaggerated)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solifugae

The link I posted previously, the Goliath spider... it's considered the largest in the world. And from seeing one.. I believe it. :ugh:

[A Spec Products]

I am scared of black widows

My friend's house has a ton of them

I am scared to walk around his yard

Eeeek

Use da foggah

Crack open like 3 at a time

And RUNNNN!

[S13SilviaGirl]

I hate all spiders. They are nasty as hell. I hate walking out my front door, only to have two huge ass spiders hanging up above me like it is cool. F_THAT. We had one in our blinds last night as I was closing them. Then there are two in our yard. I HATE THE DAMN THINGS.

On a side note...STOP posting pics! They are creepy as fuck!

[ThatGuy]

I have to add the classic "BIG SCARY SPIDER PICS". Known as a Huntsman Spider, they can get pretty large.

[SimpleSexy180]

keep posting pics!!!!!!!111oneone

<3 lol

[airsoft]

I left my wheels in a friends yard for a few months uncovered, and I went to pick them up. They were on the grass beneath a tree and when I turned them over.. they were full of webs and each had a black widow...

I think 1 of the black widows had a fat ass belly and the others had small bellies. Probably about to lay eggs.

I ended up poking them to death with a precision. :D

[nassin31spr]

I had one behind a pile of 2x4's in my garage. I dropped a wrench back there reached in and put my hand in the web. That shit is like steel threads. They make the strongest webs Ive ever felt. Scared the shit out of me. I put a light back there and sure enough a big ass black widow. Use some brake cleaner, they dont like it.

That looks a lot like the Brazilian wandering spider... but they're from different families (Wikipedia FTW!). The brazilian wandering is the deadliest spider in the world.

It likes to hide in shoes. :ugh:

Don't ask me how I know that (and no... I wasn't bitten)

[Matej]

You people know your spiders. :)

[C. Senor]

damn you all for the pics....lol, i fell off my chair twice. haha i'm arachnaphobic and what not. i kind of spasm out and jump then begin to start screaming and running when i see black widows or other large unknown spiders. little baby ones just make me walk away hastily, then i usually throw a shoe or something at it.

Thats the most terrible thing ive ever seen. Im terrified of spiders even those harmless daddy long legs freak me out. I use to blow torch them with alcohal in a spray bottle when i saw them in my room.

[s13rookie]

those friggin spiders are huge......they must be JDM.


Im okay with spiders, though not a big fan, Snakes on the other hand.........

[Ninjabread]

Spiders scare me. They all get squished, or sometimes I like to burn them with a lighter. Its fun to hear them scream.

That is fucking disturbing. I would've ran out of my house screaming.....or burned down my house in a desperate and frantic attempt to kill the fucker.

I HATE spiders. They freak me out. I'm not an extreme arachniphobic, but i've definitely got a strong case of it. I especially hate walking into old webs. When i accidently walk into one, a ridiculous spaz out session commences and i yell curse words.

People think its funny, but i'm not laughing. :hahano:

[articdragon192]

Spiders are ok with me as long as I'm able to easily kill them, which is usually the case.

[Irukandji]

I found a black widow while cleaning out my garage... I dropped bricks on it, but it would just flatten, and keep squiggling around.... So I got some peanut butter on a plastic fork... stuck it on its back.. and let it walk around while working on my car. In a few hours it moved about 2 feet, so I decided to finally torch it.

Yay

[eastcoastS14]

haha wow fuck you guys lol....you all got me lookin around my room right now. Killed a big centipede in my house today tho and *knock on wood* i havent seen any spiders that size in my house...i fuuuuucking hate hate spiders with a passion....im with that guy on big spiders...shotgun time lol. I used to mow my neighbors lawn and i was back ther one day when i see this big ass spider in a web between some branches...almost had a heart attack,then i look up and i see a bunch of them up in the trees dropping down on lines of silk...needless to say i got the fuck outta there in a hurry, and last year when doin yard work i picked up a bunch of branches when i big fat grey spider with a black stripe on its back fell out and fucking hopped not ran away

same video as johngriff posted but better angle....shit is HUUUUGE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRbgsCLaAQY&mode=related&search=

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

[WERDdabuilder]

another reason why i dont leave my shoes outside >_<!

seriously, probably my worse fear ever.

[eastcoastS14]

funny cause i completely understand ppls fear of spiders but i dont understand ppls fear of snakes at all lol

[WERDdabuilder]

well i have a snake...ball python.

and i dont think you can compare the two.

[eastcoastS14]

yeah i used to have a ball python too...i agree definitely completely different but i think people tend to lump them into the same category i think if you ask alot of ppl theyll tell u spiders and snakes are the two creatures that freak them out spiders= gross and creepy snake= nice pet

lol! Same here!! I'm freaked when it comes to spiders! I was getting my lady's dirty laundry once and a spider only the size of my thumb jumped out from the closet and I ran like a little girl and later ended up killing it with ant killer.

[ThatGuy]

What's that on your keyboard?

Fuckin great, now I have to look at my keyboard everytime I go to type, lol
Thanks alot

[quentinchan]

Well at least Spiderman is kool! Spiders do jump real high though, they could jump on your face and eat you alive!!!!!!!

[eastcoastS14]

^^ ha i have these little spiders in my bathroom ceiling that dont freak me out to bad...but i spray them with hair spray lol they start twitching like theyre trying to get away but they cant...then they eventually freak and jump and shoot pretty much all the way across the room...yea spiders can jump mad far

[BoostInnovations]

I used to work in a produce department, and it was always a little bit of a scare every time I reached into a case of bananas. Luckily I never saw anything too crazy, just a few smaller spiders and moths that I quickly disposed of.

It's awesome, venomous spiders are so rare up here, it's more of the thought of a spider than it is worrying about getting hurt. I think I've *maybe* seen one black widow my entire life up here. We do get GIANT house spiders tho, but if they don't bother me I usually let em go because they help our mosquito problem. The worst thing I had to deal with recently was a huge house centipede. It's like a spider with a ton of legs that fall off if they get threatened. Picked up some clothes and it was clinging on to my jeans and wouldn't let go! Thing was strong!

[5t341tH]

Fu* spiders r scary. everykind imaginable. even the lil ones cuz u cant see where they go. i cant imagine wat i would do if i saw one of those huge ass ones in my house. i think i would juss run as fast as i can

[SimpleS14]

haha nice to know that other people are scared of spiders as well.

ThatGuy - The first pic you posted...man..as many times as I've seen that pic, it's still creepy.

That camel spider eating the lizard is just plain crazy.

[quentinchan]

Spiders don't really scare me much. It is cleaning up the bloodstain on the WHITE wall or WHITE carpet after its dead bother me, cause it will never go away!!!

[Ninjabread]

BTW, have you guys watched the centipede videos.. scary as fuck. I thought those things were harmless.

[Farzam]

Spiders nearly killed my father.

No spider lives when I have a choice.

[Tenchuu]

Camel spiders that i saw in Iraq were rarely big enough to fill up the palm of your hand. when i was in Okinawa, these were always called banana spiders, i saw some that their bodies were bigger than my hand (fingertip to base of palm), and each leg was about as big around as one of my fingers.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y19/Tenchuuk/100_0258.jpg

[Farzam]

Good taste in teh b00z.

[ThatGuy]

^Kinda looks like a "Saint Andrew's Cross" Spider. We call them Banana Spiders or Garden Spiders here too. Always freak me out, just because of the size. They make a cool zig-zag in the middle of the web's though. I give them credit for their creativity, then I show them what insecticide tastes like.

There was some email going around that had pics that (combined with the already rampant rumors) really exaggerated the size of them... I remember overhearing some guy talking about how camel spiders could be the size of a dinner plate, run 30MPH and would randomly attack people. :confused:

[gotta240]

Fuck, i've had the 'shivers' for the past 5 minutes thanks to this damn thread.

Although not a spider, i once had a nasty thing crawl on me.

Was a hot summer night. Was doing push ups and crunches w/out a shirt on. Got up, and a couple minutes later i feel an itch on my back... WAIT, the itch is moving! Itch moves to my side... I twist to see a flying cocroach walking on my bare skin..... UGH!

[HalveBlue]

I know I've told this story on here before, but one time we were doing a training mission out in the desert and right as the sun was setting I saw a tarantuala crawl across my boot.

I used to be a lot more adverse to spiders a few years ago. But now my fear has pretty much subsided. Go figure.

Still, if I see a black widow, or any other poisonous (as decided by me) spider, I quickly switch back to assasin mode and teach 'em why mankind rules over the earth.

My brother and me used to go hunting for black widows in the summer time. Once the target was identified we quickly took it out with a beebee gun. Great target practice!

[ManoNegra]

Growing up in Guatemala, I've had my share of close encounters of the 8-legged kind.
When moving piles of firewood or construction materials you would regularly find similar ones to the one That_Guy posted, not quite as big with red eyes and about the size of silver dollar. We would learn to shake the piles before picking them up to scare the critters out of their hiding places. Spiders, gnarly praying mantises and stickbugs were common. Not for the faint of heart... and all for a measly quarter, the equivalent to a week's allowance then.
Spiders are scary but not as crazy as some of the caterpillars, fire ants and hornets I've come across.

[deadpirate]

ok yea...because of this thread, i didnt want to get out of my chair last for fear of a huge f-ing spider crawling acros the floor. even to turn on the tv was a game of how fast can i jump across the room grab the remote adnd get back to my chair before the big imiginary spider comes to kill me


f u all lmfao


i hate spiders
