Bit late for an April Fool's...if that's close to being real then I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Saucy sekksi time. Of course, for the male, it is kind of "Let's enjoy the night and not get eaten at the same time." type of situation.

Spiders are boss, they eat everything else. I never kill them, I evict them.

Once went out with a bird who loved them and had about six of them in her living room and she had named them. That's a bit much.

Funnily enough me and her never got married

Only days ago, a man in Lake Cathie got a fright when a huntsman hopped onto his arm while he was driving and, instead of slamming on the brakes, he unfortunately hit the accelerator, prompting both him and the spider to plunge into the lake.

Good call tbf.

Saw a huntsman spider last month in London Zoo. I swear if one of those appeared in my car, I'd have a serious accident. Fucking terrifying.

On average how many of those 'little' fuckers survive and how many die young?

Most will die quite early on.

They normally have around 200 babies.

Location: Dallas

Phew! It's that time of year here, already had a few fuckers scampering across the floor in the last few evenings. Thankfully have wooden floors which makes them easier to spot. Hairy bastards.

ToneLa · « **Reply #1583 on:** September 1, 2017, 07:47:34 pm »

Just carried a massive spindly one with a fat body from our hall out to the back garden's biggest bush

Already feeling guilty cause it might be getting cold

Spezialo · « **Reply #1584 on:** September 1, 2017, 07:54:21 pm »

Had a stand off with a massive one the other night. It was on the floor blocking my escape from the living room. Eventually it ran under the couch. I got the hoover, it ran out and i missed it first time, luckily got it the second go. Expecting its mates to come and look for him soon.

swoopy · « **Reply #1585 on:** September 1, 2017, 11:06:55 pm »

Seen two big beasties the other night. Luckily put the light on in the bedroom before getting changed. Big one sat on the bedroom wall staring at me. He went outside rather quickly in a glass.

Second one legged it across the floor at work. Luckily I was leaving at the time so I ignored it! I know he'll be waiting for me next time I go back to that location that as I'm the only one who goes there once a week.

5 big fuckers in the house yesterday.

Wondering if their mates are waiting for when i get home...

If i actually go back.

Red Beret · « **Reply #1588 on:** March 11, 2018, 09:34:29 pm »

I've been spraying my bedroom liberally with an anti bacterial freshener because I have a mite problem. Interestingly enough my spider population has seen a corresponding decrease. I guess I've disrupted the food chain.

My daughter seems to have picked up a fear of spiders from her teacher, which I'm annoyed about. OK, if you fear spiders that's your concern, but if you are teaching small children you should in your professionaly capacity try not to transfer this behaviour to them and not overreact when you see a piddly little arachnid (as they generally are in this country). Say to the teaching assistant, "Mrs Homewood, could you please remove that spider", instead of, "Aaaahgh, get rid of it Mrs Homewood, get rid of it!". Now my daughter overreacts when she sees small spiders where she didn't previously and we have to try and reverse this behaviour somehow.

Sometimes kids just develop the fear anyway. My missus is terrified of spiders (she once rang me at the match as there was what she thought was a big spider in the living room) and I don't like them, so I tried to get my kids to like them, not be scared etc. I've got a picture of the youngest holding a big fucker. Somehow, they are now both scared of spiders and run from the room if they are on the telly.

They probably picked it up from somewhere though, no? Maybe your wife's fear broke through in the end.

I'm pretty sure it's the teacher in this case as my daughter is directly attributing it to her, and my wife and I both try and behave the same way you do for the same reasons (even though my wife is a bit fearful of them).

The eldest says it was a Goliath bird eater they saw on you tube, odd cos they'd been watching videos of huntman and brazilian wandering spiders for months - he was shitting it going to Florida last summer about biting spiders, I told him they didn't have big spiders, thought it best not to mention the huntsman can be found in Florida.....

You need to have a quiet word with the teacher, if you get no help, show her this thread

Big Swifty · « **Reply #1594 on:** March 20, 2018, 11:13:50 am »

Might have a chat with her, yeah.

Good you didn't tell your son about the brown recluses and black widows.

So that's part of a teaching assistant's job these days?
