I just had to remove a spider from my bedroom wall...I used the old Cup & card method..it was a house spider.
Looks somewhat like this... http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/livingworld/images/florafauna/house_spider_220x170.jpg
I hate spiders!! sweat

Is it on me? Is it on me? I feel like it's on me... fear

I'm glad we don't get many huge ones here otherwise I'd totally freak out.. house spiders can get quite big... I had one once that was too big to fit into a glass.. with it's legs stretched out it was about the size of my palm!!

I saw a pic of a spider in australia once that was behind a wall clock the size of a dinner plate and it's legs were poking out that's how huge it was!!

Eurgh they creep me out!


Anyone else hate spiders?

Feel free to discuss and post your encounters here.....

you have a funny name

OMFG! I HATE SPIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!

That...is utterly nasty.

My sis is worse than me.. she can't even remove them with a cup or hoover them up... especially if it's a house spider...those ones she really hates coz one night she was sleeping and she heard a thud on her pillow and she turned the light on and looked to her right and there was a house spider on her pillow right next to her face!
surprise
Man I am all tingly now and I keep thinking there's one on me!
I don't think I'll be able to sleep now.. whenever I find one in my room it always creeps me out for ages!

I don't think I could survive in countries that have huge spiders and tarantulas as there normal everday spiders!
I wanna move somewhere that doesn't have spiders.... I wonder if such a place exists? Does antartica have spiders...?
I know spiders usually don't survive in the cold..but then maybe they have adjusted to it out there?

woah,that big >_< where do you live where you get spiders like that???

theyre not everyday spiders... its the same for you...occasionaly theres a big one...

`Spiders are the least annoying and gross of all common
insects (ecepst maybe moths).

They don't bother you or come near you.

They don't suck your blood or give diseases (atleast no the
common ones).

And best of all, they scare away, or atleast get rid of, other
more bothersome insects, like small flies or something.

They are the only insects I don't mind them in my room.

Spiders are alright...no problem. Arachnophobes...

I'd love to have one of those as a pet. I've heard conflicting research on whether or not they really eat birds though. It would be so cool to feed it birds, though. At least it would be cool to feed baby birds to it.

Ews spiders are gross!

No they're not. Just squashed spiders.

I'm sorry to shatter your anti-bird fantasy (though in
general I do agree that birds are a biblical-level evil),
but the spider rarely if ever eats birds.

Goliath Birdeater does not eat birds; it eats invertebrates such as crickets and mealworms, and also small vertebrates such as mice and lizards

Good enough for me, as long as I can feed some sort of small, fuzzy or feathery animal to my spider, it's cool as all hell.
