Members fuzzbox Posted January 8, 2007 Members Share Posted January 8, 2007 Seems my bathroom is a preferred hangout for spiders. I move them to the bushes outside all the time but then a new one appear soon after? It's the same type every time. What kind is this and how do they get there. Sometimes I see them in other places too. They don't bother me just curious about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to Australia Seriously. I had it bad. I mean, if I saw I spider, I would completely freeze up and start sweating like hell, struggling to breathe.Went to australia last year for 5 months. They were EVERYWHERE. And not the friendly little critters we get here in Belgium, poisonous ones, agressive ones, all that stuff.After a series of nights of camping in the wilderness in a tent that was covered in spiders after about a day, I kind of got used to them. They don't bother me as much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah,those Funnel Web spiders don't run when they see you...unless they're running after you!They sure as hell are aggressive little bastards...and quite venomous,as well.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kind of looks like the regular house spiders we get over here. I hate those things. Scare the crap out of me. they are a little less than an inch.i did get bit from a spider some years back (at least thats what people told me) and my arm got so stiff and the whole arm was in pain and i couldnt play the guitar. After a few days i couldnt take it anymore and boiled a razor blade and cut it up and out came all this puss. i dozed off for a second and then i cleaned it and put a band aid on it and the pain went right away and i could move it again. in about a week it was back to normal. found an old pic from a party with the band aid on:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wolfeman28 Posted January 8, 2007 Members Share Posted January 8, 2007 Originally posted by analogtapes i was gonna say wolf spider. but then again, those are supposed to be alot bigger... the male wolf spider is about the same size as the ground spider, and sometimes looks similar. But wolf spiders are outdoor spiders, and are only seen indoors when they enter by accident. Since he has seen them alot, it's most likely not a wolf spider. You want to see some nasty spiders, goto Iraq and find some Camel spiders(well they technically aren't spiders) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rememberduane Posted January 8, 2007 Members Share Posted January 8, 2007 Originally posted by Wolfeman28 You want to see some nasty spiders, goto Iraq and find some Camel spiders(well they technically aren't spiders) Aside from a proportionally large cut, Camel Spiders are harmless. They won't bite you unless they feel threatened. The reason coalition soldiers in Iraq thought they were attacking them was because they seek shade during the day -- they were trying to get in the shade of the soldiers.Most of the stories you hear about camel spiders were made up to scare recruits and whatnot. They have no venom and aren't aggressive. Thank you Wikipedia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wolfeman28 Posted January 8, 2007 Members Share Posted January 8, 2007 Originally posted by fuzzbox so when i move them outside they wont survive? Yep. They die. Best thing is to let them be. If they are there, they are there for a reason. Who knows, you might have termites or something that they are taking care of....

Members telephant Posted January 8, 2007 Members Share Posted January 8, 2007 I was driving along today, and all the sudden a spider dropped down onto the steering wheel!!!Needless to say I screamed like a bitch and smashed it with my hand all while swerving mindlessly.The traffic behind me must have thought I was drunk. It was scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Craigy Posted January 8, 2007 Members Share Posted January 8, 2007 I seen a program on spiders not too long ago. It was documenting Australia in one part and this spider called a button spider that is apparently the most poisonous in the world. Also went on about the brown recluse.
