there are things far more scarier than spiders.... I should know, I'm slightly arachnaphobic

I've seen this VERY hairy bug (longest i've seen is 2 1/2 inches), VERY HAIRY, looks like a caterpillar but less body volume compared to hair.... and the kicker? Its lightning fast! I killed one last week in my house .... after 2 minutes of gathering up my nerves and screaming like a girl with my roommate...

I wish I had a cam to show u :Q

By any chance are you related to Syringer?

Saddle up your pony and herd them out of the way, cowboy. Don't kill them, they're your friends.

I never understood either why people are scared of spiders, or worse, why they kill them. More spiders = less bugs, which is always good in my book. Think of a spider as to bugs as a cat is to mice.



Finally a smart person ....:beer:


The rest of you pussies need to get a grip,between the snakes and spiders .....good lord let the nads drop or grow a pair ....:laugh:
 
We have this one particular type of spider in our house all of the time. A few weeks ago there was a large one and it had an irregular shape to it. My son was going to squish it but I warned him the reason i looked strange was that it was carrying its babies on its back. I finally caught it and put it in the toilet and all of these babies started floating off.

I need to research what type of spiders these are because I don't like killing them but they sure are big and my wife and kids are scared of them. Sometimes I will release them outside too.

I've got spiders all over my house...I just leave em alone. They do good by eating less desirable pests that might be in the house, like mosquitoes or flies, and they don't bother me, so I don't bother them. On the rare occasion I see one too close to my bed, or somewhere where food is prepared, I just gently pick em up with a paper towel and release them outside. They do entertain my cats occasionally though.
