Not many by the looks of things. Global extermination needs to start soon before the big spiders realise this. Kill them all.....kill them all now before it's too late.

trotter Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 WTF is that thing?! A huntsman. The same thing that was video'd dragging a mouse up a fridge door last week. Aren't know for biting humans that often. Ironically, it's more the small ones you should be scared of. My ex was bitten by a brown recluse a few years back and almost lost her leg. She's got a great scar where they had to dig out a bunch of dead tissue and fill it back in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Салатные палочки Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 That thing is ridiculous. Australia can GTF. Don't give a rats arse if it could bite if there was one in my house I would rather burn it down than return to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Heard on the radio, an interesting-ish fact about spiders. The amount of spiders in the world, is measured in weight. 27 million tonnes. Of spiders. In the world. Also, they eat 800 million tonnes of insects a year. Heard that today also on the 'and finally' part of Riviera Radio. Yuk.

The Internet Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Can't handle it. There was one sitting on my bed the other night. What the ****? I swear, I was preparing to hit it and it turned and looked right at me, as if to say 'aye come ahead'. They are totally not scared of us. Horrific things that should have gone with the dinosaurs.

martoon Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 We've had some recently that look borderline tarantula. They don't bother me but my wife and daughter are terrorised by them. Living on the edge of my nerves with all the sudden shrieking and cries for me to deal with it. Nice to be useful and wanted for once, though.

Dunks Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 I was cycling on Monday and a spider landed in my eye!
