mort Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'll freely admit to being an utter wuss where spiders are concerned. Although I think even Chuck Norris would be worried by this particular one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jane2008 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 They are more scared of you than you are of them. Unless you are a big girls blouse. I admit to being a big girls blouse where spiders are concerned, but if they are more scared of me than I am of them why do they come and live with me?

It's like cats. They are perversely drawn to people who don't like them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angela P Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I have always wondered about the large brown spiders that one sees sitting in the middle of a large web at this time of year. You only see them for a few weeks for which I am extremely grateful, as they terrify me. Does anyone know where they are the rest of the time?

melthebell Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 lol i had a close encounter today at work was going to get a water sample out of the drain to check the ph, lead and copper levels so i went to the lab and got mi gear and thought id go round the outside of the building, walked through a massive web that spanned between the trees on the outside of the fence and the fence for the waste chemical compound. it was really thick, sticky web silk, really hard to get off, anyway i opened the drain and dunked mi dunker to get a sample poured it into mi bottle then i looked down and a quite large (sort of various tints of brown camoflaged) spider was running down mi arm. so i flicked it off and it fell down the drain but landed on another web and started running along, so i picked it up in mi scooper (being the nice guy i am) and chucked it on the ground near the compound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
