I think he should find another one - then strap them onto his shoes and be taken for a walk.

Raistlin

25-06-2005, 00:06

Seriously, what do I do with it? Just sling it out the front door I suppose.

Imagine my joy when I saw that, out of the corner of my eye, trying to creep past me.

I could hear it's footsteps :disturbd:

That was Africa, you expect to see man eatin' spiders there.....this is blighty, it just isn't cricket.

On a seperate note, I saw a man eating chicken the other night.

I was in my local Chinese at the time.....

You let that go free??!
That doesn't look like a regular British spider to me, more like an Australian funnel web - that spider kills unless you have antidote.

It's just a normal house spider, they are good for the house, they will eat ants, flys, and moths. If I see one on my living room floor I just leave it. Killing them will let the ant population grow in your house.

It's not a funnel web, it didn't have the same fangs.....

Yep, the one's in your pictures look pretty similar to mine (same colouring, same under body) except mine was fatter.

Never heard of a spider eating an ant... Can't see a particular reason why it wouldn't, just never heard of it.

We call them Cyrils and Raists is only a tiddler. I would rather have one of these than all those wretched flies and ants.

Tip leave a towel over the side of the bath so they can get out:cool:

argggggh why did i look at that despite the warning? damn inquisitiveness! seriously though you should have killed it......it may be homing spider......now with a grudge?!

Raistlin

25-06-2005, 13:07

it may be homing spider......

I don't see what it's sexual preferences have got to do with this..... :erm:

Well, unless it was a flying ant, I'm not sure how it would end up in the spider web.

That spider looks like a normal "petrafyus mygrannyus" one, who knows it may even be preggo & holding lots of babies to unleash on your unsuspecting bed....

So, what you done with it?
Is it squished, squashed or roaming the wilds freely?

Theodoric

Is it just me, or did anyone else think twice about killing it when Zoombini said it might be up the duff?

I must be going soft in my old age.

what a great spider, Raist, I'm glad you let him go :tu:

My sister has genuine arachniphobia, so i think me being the 'brave' big brother meant i grew up 'saving' her, from them & got to like them ;)

just beware, i had spiders that looked just like that though a little smaller they had horrible long black silky :shocked: hair...my housemate would throw them out but within a few hours there was another it went on for days, so there were either 20 of em or it kept coming back!

yeah.. same here... well spose it would depends on the spider.. i quite liked the one i caught... kinda cute lol.. but Raistlin's was all fat and horible.. yeah.. i'd kill it lol...

makikomi

26-06-2005, 11:37

Don't want to worry you, but I tried to find out how many babies the average spider has and could only find this after a short search...

Baby Spiders

The female spider spins about 8 little balls.

And in each ball there are almost 300 eggs!

Two weeks later we have a lot more baby spiders!

That's 2400 spiderlings...

All hell bent on revenge for the suffering of their mother... :D

I doubt if he'd be worried. Now, William Blake on the other hand . . .

It was one of the set poems for my O-Level Eng Lit. I could quote the whole thing and discourse learnedly on its structure once upon a time. :)

Watch out! You'll set the jungle alight!

Get a cat! Was cleaning up the front of my house this week (becasue its just gone on the market) and flushed a huge (leg spand of at least inch and a half) spider who made it about a foot before the cat pounced on it!
Then she kept batting it until it stopped working... That's cats for you.
