Would you step on this?

Yes boys and girls, it's real.:Q We use to get them in the house in Brisbane/Australia. There pretty shy, and move real quick!!! Usualy like dark places so you don't normaly see them during the day. My wife (an American) says we have the mose creapy crawlys.

 

[Spac3d]

OMG.

I would try to kill it with a heavy opject, but I think I would call an exterminator

That would be something cool to send in for research... or pull the lid off the tupperware and put it upside-down on a fire ant hill that I disturbed. I did that to wasps once.. the ants always win. Catching the wasps was hard, though.. you gotta use a water hose. Once they're wet, they fall to the ground.. and you gotta find them in the 5 seconds it takes for them to dry off enough to start flying again.

Wow that sounds like it would be freaking awesome to watch... a hill of fire ants vs that spider. Hmmm

NOOOOOOOOOOOO! That thing is fvcking awesome!!! If it lived that long to become that big, why kill it?!?!?!?!? I bet that spider has been through a lot in it's life, and it would be stupid to kill it! Poor thing

[Hayabusa Rider]

Yep, wolf spider for sure, but without seeing it in person, I cannot say exactly what kind. Do you know where this was taken?

Nope. Koalas. Nasty buggers.

Jesus! I love spiders, but even that would freak me out.

Whenever I find one in the house I usually leave it be, or move it to a safer locale. In fact, this thread is rather topical: This evening, while watching a movie with my girlfriend, I noticed the little spider that has been living in my room for a few weeks. He was on the wall, just above her head. I asked her not to move, which immediately freaked her out. I picked him up and put him in the garage for the woman's sake.

It was tiny, but she still screamed when she saw it. If she had seen that spider under the clock she would never have set foot in my house again.

Anyone have those images?? Those links are dead now.

Friend of mine just wrote me that he captured a huge spider. His cat was chasing it around but he was afraid to spray it with anything thinking it might just make the spider mad and attack him!

 

[TheShiz]

i always throw bugs out instead of killing them.

 

[conjur]

GAH!!!

someone sent them to me.
