I just walked into the fattest spider...

[i-need-a-martini]

...I walked into a huge web and as I was untangling myself I could feel some heavy vibrations.

Looked up and a HUGE spider was scrambling up and away inches from my head.

And not just one of those long legged big ones. But one of those ones with the ENORMOUS fat hairy abdomens.

I'll have to sleep with the can of Mortein.

I'll be waiting and ready.

When I first saw this thread I took it to be a metaphor.

I walked into a web with a rather nasty spider in it about six months ago.

So are you an uncle or an aunty?

[kengillard]

gee you lot are sooooo brave....killing spiders!!

The only spiders  I have killed are Funnel Webs, which used to stand on their hind legs and challenge me.   Whack!  especially if it had come out from under my kids bed. Or from under a wet towel in the bathroom

I believe in letting my spiders live inside my house.....they eat the mozzies and any stray flies.

I did have a very large huntsman in my car a few weeks ago, that scared the pants off me.  I don't mind them, if they keep their hairy legs off me!   especially while I'm driving.

Joono, i have to go in almost every day and i know he can't get out, it's double meshed and he wouldn't fit. Must have got in on some nesting material. I'm just lucky I cut all my hair off , it's only a couple of cms long, otherwise he would have got stuck.
