Big-Azz Spiders
-
sweeeeet! I've been in Canada so long now that even mocking the "spiders" they have over here has lost it's fun. Gimme somthing with fangs. Gimme something with 4 sets of glowing red eyes. Gimme a spider that knows exactly when and where you leave your house each morning so it can spin it's steel-like web at face height and sit there waiting for you with a big grin. cheers, Chris Maunder

I've been here in Texas for over 3 years, and until recently, I hadn't seen anything bigger than maybe the size of a quarter (in terms of body mass) However, this morning my wife calls me from the truck (still sitting in the driveway), and tells me there's a huge spider on the side of the house. I walked outside to check it out and it was the biggest tarantula I've ever seen up close. With it's legs bunched up close to it's body, it was BIGGER AROUND THAN YOUR STANDARD COFFEE CUP! He didn't like it much when I knocked him off the side of the house with a broom, and when he reared up in a defensive position, he was TALLER tahn your average coffee cup. When I backed up a little, he actually LUNGED AT ME! Then he ran after me as I retreated into the garage. Given his aggressive nature, I herded him into a large bucket and walked about 30 feet from the house and dumped him in a tall stand of grass. He was trying to jump out of the bucket during the entire time. This is the SECOND huge tarantula I've seen in the last month (I found the first one on the back patio). ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.

dude, I so did not need to read that this morning. i'm in Ft. Worth and I hear those things are around here too... If it makes you feel any better, I killed a Black Widow a few weeks ago. (I killed one last year too) I had never even seen one in real-life until I moved out here :omg: ~Nitron.

Was thiiiiiiiiiiis biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig.... :-D Due to technical difficulties my previous signature, "I see dumb people" will be off until further notice. Too many people were thinking I was talking about them... :sigh:
You don't have to believe me if you don't want to. From what I understand, this is more common than I was aware. My neighbor has been here for about 30 years, and he's seem them as big as half the size of a dinner plate. My wife isn't going to be happy when she hears about that. She absolutely hates spiders. ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.

startLOL... I squash Black Widows daily, even after spraying the yard with diazanon. The little suckers breed like illegal immigrants, and are toxin immune and probably radiation hardened, as well.:sigh: Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

If I were you, there would be a For Sale sign in the yard and I'd be staying in a hotel. I don't like the little spiders that run away from me, I sure as heck don't like ones that lunge at me! :omg: Jeff Martin Triple20 Software

Tarantulas are very good at keeping other critters at bay. They may look spooky, but they do serve a purpose.
