Title: Uh, more spider troubles.
Post by: fastson on June 02, 2007, 02:25:26 AM
Dont know if you remember my thread from last year about the (for sweden) huge crushed spider?

Well, today we noticed some more friends, lots of them.. on my parents lawn furniture. :(

They were taken care of thanks to Radar Spider spray.

Now, lets hope their mother does not take revenge. :D

the spiders we get in the uk are generally solitary, we don\'t see shit loads of them like that.

I\'m more than happy to leave any spiders I find in my rooms where they are, as long as they stay in the corner of the ceiling, I\'m ok with it.

As soon as they start crawling down the walls, they get scooped up and thrown over the neighbours wall.

Spiders are a bit gross, but in large groups, they are friggin\' nasty. I should\'ve taken a pick of this huge friggin\' garden spider that bit me in my sleep...9 times. I woke up and saw these giant red marks all over my leg. I thought I had come down with some illness or something, because they stayed there for like 2 months. I finally found the sucker that bit me...it was like a 2-3 inch garden spider. When the exterminator came to our house, it ran out from its hiding place and skurried about the carpet. It didn\'t die when the exterminator sprayed it. In fact...it let out this squealing noise, which was creepy. Took about 5-6 sprays to kill the thing. Yuck.

I found out what type of spider those were!  

Species Argiope aurantia - Black & Yellow Argiope (http://bugguide.net/node/view/2025)

look familiar?

Despite bright colors this spider is not a danger to humans. It is very unlikely to bite unless severely provoked, and in that case the bite would be probably no worse than a bee sting.

Thanks JBean.. :thumb:

Ugh.. I wonder how big they are once they are fully grown?

If there is one creature I wish could be deported to the moon, it would be the spider.

I never ever harm spiders. Call me crazy but I always make sure they are safe.

Whenever I see a spider in my house I take it out and put it in the yard. Sometimes I might even let them live in the house. I might get pissed at a member of my family if he/she tries to kill one too.

They aren\'t harmful. I actually marvel them

In most cases people overestimate "harmful"

same here, i think i might\'ve mentioned before that in my youth i used to pick up any and every spider i seen, and it\'s true that most spiders will kill most other insects that bite or annoy you...and alot of spiders really aren\'t that aggressive unless you\'re bothering them...meh i say let\'em live if they\'re not bothering you...

nope, my gf has been bitten by a whitetail. Had a hole about the size of her thumb print in her arm after awhile. Was just all rotten flesh.   The one with the big ass fangs is a sydney funnel web.
So i haven\'t had to deal with many. Only ever came across one and i wasn\'t in Victoria. Even then they\'re not to bright. They barely see and are very aggressive.

I guess you\'ve never heard or have been bitten by a black widow. A bit from a black widow will kill you. I\'d say that is pretty harmful.

I should have been more precise then. Common spiders aren\'t harmful and in most cases we overestimate how dangerous they are.

The majority of spiders aren\'t harmful at all. But people get freaked out at every spider they see.

For example it was probably unnecessary that fastson killed those ones. To be honest though personally even if a spider happens to be dangerous, if I can I will try to capture it and release it somewhere else where there aren\'t residents.

Poisonous snakes as well if I had the stick and a bag

The brown recluse is in fact one of four poisonous spiders and interestingly enough only 60 out of 20,000 species of spiders are actually capable of biting at all.

^^^that is some scary s**t!....every time is see those pics it really is amazing how that one specific spider can cause so much damage....on another note i found a clip of a hunting wasp hunting down a spider,...i\'ve seen this happen a few times in real life and it\'s just amazing how the wasp just owns the spider with ease....
