I think spiders are interesting creatures. Thanks for the share

Apparently we swallow about two spiders a year in our sleep. Goodnight

UGHUHHH!!!!!!

This thread gives me the willies. I hate spiders!
Especially that Spider-man!
Parker! Get out there and get me some photos!

*Shrugs* we don't get lots of varies of spiders here in UK. Just black ones. No colourful spiders. That would explain my lack of knowledge about spiders.

Ugh!! Accidently come across this in Google :-

Whoa, that thing's gonna kill you with a single bite :/

Yummy!

Either that spider is growing a luxurious mustache, or trying to bite a huge red caterpillar in half.

He's fun

I would put it in a plastic case and then post it on the internet in a....


DEATHMATCH with another insect!

It's times like this I'm really glad I live in the UK

That first pic is well creepy, that's a lot of spiders.

It's the thin legs that creep me out the most, like on spiders with chunky bodies and stubby little legs *shivers*. For some reason I don't find Tarantulas as scary, I think it's because the legs look thick enough to match the body. And maybe the fur. We don't get wild ones over here so no chance of finding one in an odd place either. Still wouldn't want to get too close to one though :S

Veho: my Nan has one of those. The gemstone's clear so it's not instantly noticeable; she posed it on the inside edge of a picture frame when she got it (so it looks like it's crawling up a white cross-stitch canvas) and takes much delight in the reactions when visitors to her house notice it an hour or two after arriving.

(yes we jumped a mile)
[Edit: okay I missed the part about it being a lamp; I'm talking about a 3" ornament that looks very similar]

Dude, even the Rangers in Canada are hardcore enough to eat that shit for breakfast. Being a U.S. Marine, you should be able to drink it!

I doubt it dude. I have stomped plenty of huge camel spiders in Iraq though.

Holy Shit that big

Hmm, reminds me of my house.

I like to keep a good collection of spiders around as they take care of all the other bugs that are likely to bother me by eating my food, wallpaper, cat.......

/pours drink out in honour of Bill*.

*Bill was a spider that lived under my bath in student halls (anyone wondering do not go for it: they are lousy, get a real house). The main claim to fame happened when I was sitting in the bath one morning.
It was going to be a boring day but then it runs out and grabs a monster silverfish that was scuttling along the floor before dragging it back to the nest under the bath.
The day was lousy but I did not care for I had started the day that way.

Certainly don't want to get bitten by one:

You know, that very first spider picture could have been faked. Certainly it looks real, but then again, I've seen some pretty crazy "Halloween decorations" which could easily do something of that caliber.

Wikipedia

In the Middle East, it is widely rumored among American and coalition military forces stationed there that Solifugae will feed on living human flesh. The story goes that the creature will inject some anaesthetizing venom into the exposed skin of its sleeping victim, then feed voraciously, leaving the victim to awaken with a gaping wound. Solifugae, however, do not produce such an anaesthetic, and they do not attack prey larger than themselves unless threatened.

Wiki says it's fake
