Hello! RAID!!! What's everyone so freaked about? I don't even want to think about how that park would smell after you used raid. I found a huge spider in my room awhile ago and it fell behind the desk, so I sprayed some raid and then recovered the spiders body. What I didn't account for was the smell, I slept on the couch that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picture High-Res Picture (Will take forever to load on dial-up) Wow... that is freaky. And the spiders are tiny, I saw a movie clip with a researcher holding one, it's about the size of a quarter, if that. A spider the size of a QUARTER is TINY ????

Well... not TINY but considering the web they're pretty small. Up to about a quarter is doesn't scare me, I get ones that are probably double the size of a quarter in my bedroom quite frequently. And I live in a good part of Canada, I went to visit my aunt and uncle on the coast... oh my. I walked into their basement one night (where my family was staying) and found a spider standing on the floor. It was literally higher up than my ankle. It looked kind of like this. I've also found a tarantula in my backyard. At least I think it was a tarantula. It was about the size of a man's fist and hairy. I don't know what else it would be, so I assume somebody let there pet get loose. So Fraught, how big are the spiders where you live if quarter-sized ones are huge? Also, I assume that such a place must be in heaven, so could you tell me a bit about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(except in captivity or in books). we have some we call daddy-long-legs but we barely consider him a spider now his legs may be inch and a half - 2 inches. most spider bodies no bigger than a small ant. i have lived in virginia, west virginia and ohio. i have often thought i would like to live in canada, but perhaps you have changed my mind.

Wow... I'm jealous... a spider the size of a fly? Those don't even bother me anymore, I found one hanging from my glasses once We also have daddy long legs, but I love those, I let them crawl on my arms. Anyways, Canada's nice, you should come, just bring raid. keilan, you saw a STANDING spider? were a pair of its legs holding its waist as it STOOD there waiting for you? and what do you mean you live in teh GOOD part of Canada? It was STANDING on all 8 legs. Bully. Besides, it was tall enough that it could have been a normal spider standing on two legs. And I mean the good part of Canada for spiders, anything coastal gets scary spiders. So there! wolf spider *WARNING* spider picture! You find them around here all the time..............and I've seen MUCH bigger ones. I HATE wolf spiders... I was climbing up on to a fallen tree once... and there was a crack. And when I put my hand over the crack a huge wolf spider crawled out. It was mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
