Anyone else getting invaded by eight legged freaks?

Was the spider the reason why you were taking a shit?

No D:

It hitched a ride on a sugar cane ladder that was in my bathroom, and I guess it lived there for a while.

Then one day, while I was taking a shittsky, it decided to move home, came out of nowhere, stared at me for a few seconds, then ran.

For a few weeks, it'd run around my room and chill out in my closet and stuff, then go back to the cane ladder and sleep, come out the next day, rinse, repeat. Eventually though, it started pissing me off, and I killed it : /

I hate spiders and all manner of creepy-crawlers, but not because I'm phobic - more because I object to these little bastards just sauntering around my room. Gerrorf my laaand!

As I wrote here, I am engaged in a constant war against the forces of nature. There are vines trying to push in through my window and spiders keep crawling all over my walls.

Big.fcuking.spider.

What type is that thing??????

although I might prefer that to this in my house.......

 

[PvtRyan]

Spiders don't freak me out, well the little ones don't, I don't kill those, just put 'em outside the window.

However, you got those big fast moving house-spiders, YOU CAN HEAR THEIR FOOTSTEPS ON WOODEN FLOORS!

SPIDERS WITH FOOTSTEPS D: D: D:

That scares the shit out of me, *tap tap tap tap tap* and they move FAST!

 

[Puzzlemaker]

Daddy longlegs are cool!

And that is one BIG spider.

One morning I woke up and had one tiny baby spider hanging right in front of my computer monitor, about a centimeter away from the screen. I would take a tissue and squish it and, the next morning, it would be back... some forces of necromancy are at work if you ask me... undead spiders are no fun!

we have a leet spider in the wash house window in our flat. it has completely solid web-walled rooms, 4 or 5, all connected with little tunnels. the cooles thing is the trophy/storeroom that has 5 corpses hung in a row. reminds me of Predator we also get these. woke up with one crawling over my face a couple of months ago D:

Looks like the...

I don't know how to type it, but there is an insect where it's name has an actual click noise in it.

I'll say *Click*'Nada. But *Click*'Nada's are usually found in the desert. D:

Arachnids?

Ah the fun times of my childhood when it came to spiders. If they are in their web, or on TV, they are fine by me, but get one skiddering across my computer desk, or floor and its dead.

When i was younger, we had a carpinter ant problem, before had the exterminator come in and whipe them out. Anyhow, I would take the ants and earwigs if I could find them, and toss them into spider webs and watch the battle ensue. Was pretty fun to watch, especially the ear wigs, trying fruitlessly to use their pincers to grab the spider...

Now Earwigs are creepy!

Killer Crickets?

native nz weta they hiss and bite and have these evil spiked legs that they whip you with. actually they're harmless but crawling on my face is a crime punishable by death. the giant ones can get up to 8 inches long :O

 

[Danimal]

Arachnids?

No. Does that look like a spider to you!?

 

[The Brick]

You said insect.



edit: oh.. I meant the startship troopers ones.. I swear they were called arachnids..

 

[Danimal]

Yes, because the *Click*'Nada I was talking about is a ****ing insect.

 

[Loke]

I had a spider sleeping in my bed once.
I was actually lying in bed when I, for some reason turned right and saw him running only inches away.
Every time I go to bed nowadays I always check my sheet before hopping into bed.

Oh...

 

[Jimmeh]

Kill it with fire! :x

 

[Deadline]

Kill it with fire! :x

Yeah, burn your sheets before going to bed. :flame:

 

[Bad^Hat]

Now that's creepy

 

[-Psy-]

I feel Paranoid. That is one ****ing huge Spider :O

 

[Deadline]

I dunno if its the same for anyone else, but I have a fear of stepping on large insects and spiders... more so I have a fear of hearing the cracking sound of their exo-skeletons and their massive amounts of blood and guts getting on the floor and my shoe.

[kirovman]

I've had a few of those harvestmen spiders and the wolf spiders too.

This thread makes me afraid to go to bed.

I'm staying awake.

Though reading about it, its not so bad.

In Hawaii, the term "Cane Spider" is the nickname for the common Huntsman Spider (Heteropoda Venatoria). This spider is found in many tropical and subtropical parts of the world, including Asia, the Caribbean islands, the Southeastern US, and (especially) Australia.

It is believed that this spider was introduced to Hawaii from Asia. As the nickname implies, cane spiders are often found in sugar cane fields. At about three to five inches in length, cane spiders appear menacing but are in fact mostly timid and will flee from humans. If cornered and/or provoked they may bite and may rarely inject venom, which is not lethal and leaves no long term problems.

The female Cane Spider can be recognized by her stout body and the pillow-like egg sac that she often carries under her. The male typically has a slender body, longer and thinner legs, and a distinctive pattern on his carapace. Both male and female are reddish-brown to grayish-brown in color, and slightly hairy.

Cane spiders do not spin webs, and are welcomed in many homes as they feed on pests such as cockroaches and silverfish. Their exceptional agility and speed, as well as their ability to contort and squeeze through tight spaces, give them a strong advantage both in capturing prey and evading predators. They feed at night, which is another thing that makes them frightening to humans.

 

[Danimal]

I knew they looked like Huntsman spiders!

 

[Beerdude26]

Found this one on the ceiling right above my head (I sleep in a bunkbed) one morning:


It was about 4 inches. I let it roam free outside to wtfpwn those annoying mosquitos.

 

[CyberPitz]

I remember one day, I got out of the shower, pulled a towel from the rack, and opened it, and a spider fell out. I about SHIT myself right then and there.

Ever since, I shake my towels rigorously before drying. Same thing as blowing in cups. Even if they JUST got washed, I blow in them, make sure no spiders/roaches are in there.
