Spiders!

Is it me, or is there an over-abundance of spiders this year? All too frequently I walk through a doorway in the morning or outside in the yard, and walk through an invisible web that catches my face and head (we shaved head guys are very sensitive up there!).

Is it the wet climate we had?

For the past 3 weeks, there is a spider weaving its large web across the top of the side-doorway. I've been watching it grow in facination every night. I finally decided to take some pictures last night of this ever-growing beast.

I'm thinking of giving her a name...


Have you ever come across some peculiar spiders before? What's your spider story?

f*#king hate spiders....specially in the evening after dark around 8ish when having a smoke outside and your walking in front of your house in the neighbourhood,I have seen them sliding down their tiny web line some of them are the size of my thumb.....I hate spiders.

I don't have that much spiders but I have lots of centepede's . These things look worse then spiders and crawl around very creepy.

Once i when camping I had one of these things crawl on my face.. couldn't go back to sleep after that...

heres a pic of what they look like:

I actually don't mind spiders.
I've wanted a tarantula for the longest time, but no one I've lived with has ever agreed to let me have one. I don't see what the big deal is.



I think they're pretty. Kind of like a colourful hamster, but with some extra legs and eyes, and doesn't smell as bad.

No, I'm sorry Jen, they look fucking creepy.

cute weasel



creepy shit

These things are the WORST

Nothing scares me more.

I am deadly afraid of them and I have found two of them in my appartment since I have lived there. One in my dishwasher when I opened it.... I screamed, jumped on the counter and cried for my roommate. But it was definitely bigger/longer then the one in that picture. Creepiest things ever... However I read that they eat spides.. which is my second biggest bug fear.

Spiders are the worst. If I see them outside, it freaks me out but its OKAY... however when I see them in my room I have a mini panic attack. I have a huge fear of a spider laying an egg sac in one of my pillows, and then one morning I will up and there will be trillions of baby spiders all over me! EEK (Think of the ending of Charlotte's Web when all the baby spiders are flying away)

A picture of my worst nightmare:

hate spiders.

one attacked me at cherry beach.

^lol

theres one in my backyard right now, at first he made a web across the whole width but now hes made a smaller one, pretty cool multicolour guy

That's a camel spider isn't it?
My boss got bit by one at the pyramids, when we were in Egypt this past August. He didn't even know he got bit till later that day, he thought a cat had brushed past him.

I hate winter but I haaaaate spiders....so i'm happy that the cold weather is on its way.....

Live spider flushed from boy's earBy staff writers May 07, 2007 03:48pm A NINE-year-old American boy who was suspicious of a "Rice Krispie" sound in his ear, was found to have a couple of spiders living in there. What began as a faint popping turned into ear ache for Jesse Courtney from Albany in the state of Oregon. Jesse's mother, Diane Courtney, said her son insisted he kept hearing a faint popping in his ear - "like Rice Krispies''. "They were walking on my eardrums,'' Jesse said, according to the Associated Press. Dr David Irvine said it looked like the boy had something in his ear when he examined him. When he irrigated the ear, the first spider came out, dead. The other spider took a second dousing before it emerged, still alive. Both were about the size of a pencil eraser. Jesse has kept the spiders as a souvenir.

Here's another angle of my new pet;



I think I'm going to call her... Spidonkadonk


I did some googling and found my species...

Araneus diadematus
Feeding Guild:� orb weavers
�Feeding guild when noted defined by Uetz, G. W., J. Halaj, and A. B. Cady. 1999. Guild structure of spiders in major crops. Journal of Arachnology 27:270-280. PDF
Habitat (published): Thrive in shrubs and trees around buildings, urban parks and gardens.

Life & Natural History: Adults appear in late summer and autumn, and spend the winter either in the egg or the juvenile stage, depending on latitude. The adult web has 30 radii and the catching area about 30 cm in diameter. Mature females lay their eggs before winter in protected places away from the web and deposit a golden yellow covering over yellow eggs.

def because its been more moist.

when i was at brookgreen gardens (which i highly recommend anyone going to, fuking gorgeous) at this one shelter these guys were everywhere. the female is the big one and the male is the size of a dime. when the female is done mating with the male, she eats him.

Damn, she kills him after? That's rough.

That's pretty much par for the course in the Arachnid world, isn't it?

OMG i am like a little girl when it comes to spiders .... i'm such a wuss my ex had to kill them all the time for me *blushes* ....there just soooooo creepy!!!!

My gf is the same way. she'll start yelling and hide in the corner curled up in a ball. It's hilarious.

I just got back from the Dominican Republic.

Whilst enjoying a sunny day on my beach lounger, my buddy started freaking out and telling me to hold really still - he then flicked a brown widow spider the size of a nickel off my neck and into the sand.

Apparently their venom is stronger than a black widow's, but is localised to the bite area, where it causes necrosis...which basically means your flesh turns into black goo and falls off.

He was identified by a local, who fished him out of the sand and put him up in a tree.

Here's a picture of that little baddie (not him, but the same species)
