    They're good for eating other bugs and such at a barn, in my basement, etc. I'm all for catch and release if they're in my house. If one crawls on me? all bets are off and I'll scream like a 10yr old girl.
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    All spider talk is welcome here ;)

    My son was bitten by a Huntsman last year on the thumb. I asked him how it happened and he said he was trying to squash it with his thumb. Nice to see he's got his mothers quick thinking :D

    A spider fell on my face when I was in bed one night.
    We have awful spiders in Australia.

    There is a Red-back behind my dryer and im too scared to go near it, plus it has an egg sack :eek:

    Thats all...
    your turn!

    hehe! Poor bugger! He was probably confused and terrified at the same time! There's no way I'd ever TOUCH one though!!! My Nan picks them up in her bare HANDS!!!! :eek: and carries them outside to release them!!!!! **shudder!!!!!**

    I have had spiders fall on my face, in my hair, down my top, crawl on me in bed, nearly crash my car because of them. Yeah, we have awful spiders!!!

    Last week we moved some wood from the woodpile out onto the street for free firewood if anyone wanted it, and we disturbed a HUGE nest of redbacks!!! :eek: Lot of stomping going on.

    As to your average 8 legged arachnid, I have no problem with as long as they play by the rules.

    I'm pretty proud of myself now that I don't feel the need to destroy each and every one with a nuclear device every time I see one. They get to live here as long as they stay in the designated areas. :)
    NOPE!!!

    Well I don't know about killing them, but an island somewhere a long way away from any children for the term of their natural life is fine by me.

    We have a Golden Orb Spider that arrives in the garden every Summer and makes the most amazing web, so huge and intricate. And then it sits there every night to feed. It's really quite something to watch. :) AND it plays by the rules and NEVER comes into the house. :) We've had some quite nice conversations. :)
    NOPE!!!

    Spiders do not scare me, but waterbugs do.

    Waterbugs do not scare my daughter, but spiders do.

    We have a pact: I shoo spiders outdoors; daughter shoos waterbugs.

    they do get pretty massive, but that's obviously a doctored pic!
    they're in afghanistan too. when my bro was over there, the chaplain actually caught one and put it in one of those ziploc freezer bags. its leg was broken, that was the only way he got one because they run super fast. so he'd walk up to guys and go "hey, catch!" and watch as they screamed and ran. talk about a sick sense of humor!

    Nah.. that's not a doctored pic. It's just two of them holding onto eachother.
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    i'm actually a big fan of the spiney-backed orb weaver :D

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasteracantha

    they're definitely the most fascinating spider that i've ever come across. there was one that built a web outside of a townhouse i lived in w/ a couple of friends. they thought i was crazy for not wanting to kill or at least move the spider from around our front door. but, he would just weave these fantastic webs. i would sit outside and watch...he was like my little pet :)
    yes...i do feel like a human. i do not feel like a tree.

    My GOD! You all have a good memory :eek:

    Those Orb Spiders are indeed amazing...we had them out on a farm we lived on early this year, and you'd walk through one in the evening (scary as hell) and then the next morning the web would be back-bigger and better than before....

    That Iraq Spider looked rather disgusting...
