Drew Espinosa Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I told my daughter this would make a great birthday present for her. She vehemently disagreed Erm... you thought spider shoes were a great present for your arachnophobic daughter? I like your sense of humor! 2
LitLover Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Erm... you thought spider shoes were a great present for your arachnophobic daughter? I like your sense of humor! We have a close and loving relationship 1
Site Moderator Reader1810 Posted July 24, 2015 Site Moderator Posted July 24, 2015 I was going to say that centipedes give me the willies more than spiders, but then I saw the pictures. Yikes!!!! I hope most of the shots are extreme close ups and they aren't really as big as they seem.....???? 2

I hope most of the shots are extreme close ups and they aren't really as big as they seem.....???? Well... the largest spider, the Goliath Bird-Eating Spider, is about the size of a dinner plate. Despite their name, they rarely eat birds... but they are known to eat small mammals, like mice Edited July 24, 2015 by Drew Espinosa 2
comicfan Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Since Drew mentioned them. Here is a video on them. Enjoy. 1

Despite their name, they rarely eat birds... but they are known to eat small mammals, like mice Just so you know, I would've liked your post, but I'm all out of likes (nothing new about the scarcity of those critters). So, while I admire your knowledge of arachnology, I would have been quite content not knowing that little tidbit of information. And, I am forever grateful, they will never habitate my neighbourhood. 1
Timothy M. Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 OH NO!!! Why do I find it slightly cute?! Because it IS cute. Absolutely adorable 1
Site Moderator Reader1810 Posted July 27, 2015 Site Moderator Posted July 27, 2015 Because it IS cute. Absolutely adorable Not when you're looking at from the screen of a mini iPad it's not! Clicked on the link and this nearly leaped off the screen at me 1
Timothy M. Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Not when you're looking at from the screen of a mini iPad it's not! Clicked on the link and this nearly leaped off the screen at me LOL, it almost filled the whole screen of my laptop. No problem ... for me. I like spider and snakes and most other critters. Except wasps. I hate them. 1
Aditus Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Anyone who wants to click on the link to the banana spider thumb again? 1

Site Moderator Reader1810 Posted July 27, 2015 Site Moderator Posted July 27, 2015 I am afraid to click on Comic's video... Okay, so you made want to look... but then I turned it off before the main event... should have listened to Drew.... 1

I hate them. I like most critters too... except spiders We are all different in which creatures we like and dislike and it is interesting to see that this thread is a resource to educate... although I still refuse to go through the previous pages PS: I said it before in this thread, but I'll say it again here: the only spider I ever liked was Charlotte from Charlotte's Web ...while the spider is fictional, I still remember how I cried when she died. 2
comicfan Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 I am afraid to click on Comic's video... I never said I watched it. After you named it I went looking. Like any good writer if you present a topic, before I can write about it or make it my own, I really need to know about it. In this case just the frozen image is enough for me. 1

echophase Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 The moment I read this thread I would happen to find the biggest most evil creature in my bathroom and now I can't find it, it's gone like some spidery assassin. I'm done for. 3

I'm done for. They are diabolical little buggers, no question about it. 2
echophase Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I just figure with each spider that they may or may not be military trained to kill, it could be paranoia but who wants to take the risk? 2

I couldn't believe someone could be so stupid with their child in the car. 2
