spiders

Just killed a fucking nasty ass yellow spider. Fucker completely surprised me with a wall attack and it had a massive egg sac. I swatted the shithead and it fell on the floor, losing 3 wriggling, hairy legs. I then smashed its body and as soon as the pressure hit the egg sac, it burst, splashing disgusting fluids all over the floor. Fucking hell, what a battle.

I remember hearing a story about someone who splatted a spider and a load of baby ones burst out and ran off to all the corners of his room.

Fucked up.

That happened to me last weekend, in the garage. I can't remember if I posted it here or not.

God it was awful. There were hundreds of them, no bigger than seed ticks, and they dispersed everywhere before I could kill more than a couple dozen of them.

It makes me want to set my garage on fire just thinking about it.

Fuck's sake, I was expecting just that

Maybe they hadn't just formed yet.

This was in my backyard. 4" including legs.

Back in student digs we had a back garden that the landlord filled over with black liner and gravel. Come summer we went out there and after a short while, started to notice that with every step we took there was a load of small movements away from where we placed our feet.

Full of fucking spiders, the entire patch of gravel. Ugh.

That's fucking huge. I've seen similar spiders in my yard as well, mostly in the middle of giant, carcass-covered webs behind the tool shed. I called them "tiger spiders" due to their yellow and black stripes.

Fuck, I'm still thinking about Rook's garage. Turn on the lights one day and watch a whole cloud of little spiders disperse behind a bunch of boxes.

Biggest spider I ever saw was in Malaysia.

I was visiting a durian plantation and I walked into an outhouse to pee. Turned around and there was this spider about 8" long hanging on the back of the door. I was trapped in an outhouse with a freaking facehugger. So I opened the door just a crack and crawled out the bottom. Then ran like hell.

You got lucky.

When I was around 6 years old I remember playing in a grassy field. At that time the grass was at about my waist height. After running around I sat in the field to take a rest. Then I felt something at the back of my right shoulder, I scratched my back, and the sensation was still there. Then I turned my head to my shoulder to take a look.

In a moment that felt like eternity, I noticed the biggest spider in my life. It was a massive yellow and black striped spider. Maybe around 3 inches. And it was on my right shoulder. The time stood still. I remember smacking it as hard as I could with my left hand, getting up, shaking myself left and right to make sure it falls off, and running as fast as I have yet to run again. I ran far and wide, didn't stop for about 5 minutes. Man did I ever run!

From that moment on I have had a fear of spiders, or anything else with more than four legs.

farmer in remote northern territory was boudar riding when he fell off his horse, and impaled himself on a fence post - through the abdomen.
Using sat phone he called air ambulance and was taken to Alice Springs Hospital where the fence post was carefully removed, his gut lavaged and the hole closed up.
2 weeks later he was back in hospital, febrile, with a necrotic abdomen, and green/black and pussy wound where the post had been.
Straight to theatre, opened him up and dozens and dozens of fat, juicy baby spiders crawled and ran out of his abdomen.
3 weeks later he was okay and healing up nicely

Rook, the spider that released hatchlings was most likely a fisher spider or a wolf spider. Other than that, only tarantula carry their young in a sac. Spiders lay eggs instead.

I don't dislike spiders, I'd just prefer they stay outside the house
