Ok, I hate spiders more than the average person. I was looking out my window in my room today when I spotted this red behemoth. I have no idea what kind it is but it is HUGE!

As long as I know that spider is safely outside my window I'll be fine. If I look there one day and it's gone... I'm going to flip out!

I love feeding spiders that are outside of my house. Just keep a light on outside, take a moth or something, and put it right on the spider's web. It's fascinating to see how they trap it and eat it.

I'd hate to see how you'd react if you saw this though.

What's behind this clock?

*note: This isn't my place...thank god.

I've seen those pictures before and I still shake at the sight of them.

That's a barn spider..
I was walking into my house last time, and I felt a spider web in my face, and I felt something drop on my head. I freaked out and shook around and went crazy. Then I saw the barn spider!
I caught it in a jar, along with a wasp.. and within a minute, the wasp stung the spider to death :p

The OP's could be a barn spider, but eggo's freaky monster doesn't look anything like a barn spider..

I love how you people who grew up in America see a TINY spider and claim it's "huge" :p

Tarantulas and Cane spiders > you

You need to call in this Praying Mantis I have living outside my window for the past 2 weeks.
