People really don't want to know they're eating spider, ever notice that? There are exactly NO makers of crackers that proudly proclaim, "zesty salted crackers with spider bits". No... the salt might kill you but the spider can't, but which do they take off the label?

Spiders need better representation.

I get a lot of garden spiders and others in the house. The small ones I usually leave alone, unless I feel they're annoying me, then they die. The big ones either die (rare) or I scoop them up into a tall glass and fling them outside. If they start crawling up the side of the glass, just shake it and they fall back down.

A recent contract of mine was rehabilitating and/or demolishing some govt facilities.

Spiders were par for the course.

Was bitten by a wolf spider, and several Black Widows over the course of that job.

The wolf bite seriously sucked.

But, one location stand out for it's 20 Black widows, 10 wolf spiders, and half a dozen unidentified inhabitants living next to the nest of rattlesnakes.


I'll see if I can dig up my old pics of some of those.

Erm, yeah UnO. Good idea.

See, if you were Cambodian you could have fed yourself, wife and munchkin for a week.

4' tall black widow nest, with egg sack, and my pet canibalizing another black widow.

I had a job last year tearing out an old shed. I killed spiders, maybe 30. There were rat holes in the ground under the floor which I tore up and spiders living in those too. No fun, don't usually like to do spider jobs but I said I'd do it so...

[ziIReIGS]

Well I guess you're faster than I am AC. Ahem.

Happily the rat holes were empty except for fleeing spiders. I assume the rats heard a monster tearing the guts out of their shed and took off.

If you keep the place not messy then the spiders won't like it so much.

Unknown. HUGE spider. Bad camera, no web, possibly brown/recluse spider. Too fast to feed to my pet. It is hard to tell for sure because of the poor focus, but I think that is the same kind of spider that hangs out in my parent's pool in the spring. And they do get big. So big, in fact, that even though my family normally (and justifiably) makes fun of my proneness to getting grossed out, nobody will go after them but me. (My hatred over-powers my fear. Get out the 10/12 foot net, get'em on the concrete, use something flat and heavy to end it.)

Eating maybe. I doubt it bit and killed it. Likely the bird hit a window and fell into the web.

I hope.

Seedle, if that's the kind of spider it is, its deadly.

Not for spider, though.

I wonder if there are any crabcakes left in the fridge...

We had a teacher back in high school whom we called the Spider. He was very good at rock climbing.
