We had something similar happen up at the farm recently Hels. Came in for the weekend and the place was full of them and we're fastidious about cleaning up everything before we leave. They were everywhere. I have no idea how come. Took a day to vacuum up the bodies and shoo away the ones that were still alive. We never did find out why.

Ooohh... I must get some barrier spray.

That's fucking weird Jeanie... they were creepy... they weren't even flying around... just sorta hovering there and sometimes chasing eachother around the window I think they decided to use the window as a mating ground :eek:

I kind of like spiders, but I've never had any experience with big spiders.

there was a guy in my hometown that was driving home with his family....a bee flew in the car and he lost control of the car....his family survived, but he didn't :( so weird, all because of a bee.

:( wow! We really are a strange... eh... species! I mean obviously everybody would KNOW that it's more important to keep control of the car... but in that moment you just lose it

Pants, did someone tell you that it was a White Tipped spider??

The actually DONT cause the ulcers and blistering that alot of people associate with White Tips....

All spiders have a bacteria on their fangs, and some people have a reaction to it, and others dont.

Thats just what ive heard, cause B got bitten by a Huntsman last year, and E was bitten by a spider this year but didnt know what it was.....:eek:

Must have been a brown recluse spider... their bites are nasty like that! Ever seen a wolfspider? Those things look freaky and are huge like something out of 8-Legged Freaks.....

I think you only get the Brown Recluse spider in America...

In Australia, we have the most deadly spiders on the planet (maybe? not entirely sure, but certainly feels like it!) :eek:

A Wolfspider?? Sounds like we may have something similar-the Huntsman...all spindly legs and hairy....BLERGH!

Id much rather hold a snake (mind outta the gutters!) than look at a spider.....
