Kingdom of The Spiders Comes to Pakistan

Dear universe,

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK THIS FOREVER RIGHT UP IT'S meep WITH A THOUSAND FISTS OF AN ANGRY GOD

That is a beautiful thing to see. They look like they are covered in a fine bird net.

I don't think I would want to pick whatever fruit is growing under there though.

If near these monstrosities, I would be simultaneously weeping and pissing my pants while spasming on the ground. I'm a big, arachnophobe meep meep.

I live in a place where 3"-31/2" huntsman and wolf spiders are common. I can find at least two of each in my house at any given time. They only get evicted if they get down the walls below head-height.
No room for arachnaphobia here.

speaking of, this meep is in my kitchen, biding his time, as we speak

^^^^^ meep YOU ^^^^^

FART - meep - VOMIT - THUNK

You Aussies sure love yer spiders.

S77, what is that thing called? Since its so conveniently located on plastic, shouldn't you just squish it? Will that make the rest mad? Do they devour flesh from small babies and dogs?

they're called huntsman spiders. totally harmless, just terrifying. they're too fast for squishing; i was surprised i was able to get that picture. i haven't seen any others in the house aside from him (or her). they do a fine job of decreasing the surplus insect population, so i have no qualms with them being around, under the non-negotiable condition that they remain out of my line of sight.

This thread gives me a terrified meep

I would nuke Australia in a meeping heartbeat

Do the huntsman leave you alone or can/have you awoken with them in your bed, on your face, or in your mouth?

^ Use napalm. It's slower and more painful. Spiders feel pain, right? I hope spiders feel pain.

In Florida, we have both the Wolf and Huntsman spiders, just as in Australia. I have an attitude towards them similar to Dragonstaff and Sunny's, as they keep meeproaches out of my house. meeproaches go after people food and get all up in my kitchen, so I detest them. I have found the Huntsman (colloquially known as Florida Housekeeper) in my domicile countless times, but have never had one "on me". They almost always stay at the margins of the room and don't seem to like leaving corners, etc. They keep to themselves and quietly go about their valued business. We're cool, those spiders and I.

^ I'm all up in yer kitchen, eating your food.

As Chronos said, they leave us alone, we leave them alone. They get agro when you annoy them, but are fine otherwise. I have been known to evict them bare-handed if necessary. They don't bite too badly.

we have a friend who introduces them to his house to control the insect population. i killed one at his house once and he got really angry.

When we first moved in, we had an earwig problem in the mail box. Then a black widow moved in, and took care of them. We put a sea shell in the back for it to live in, and it knew that twice a day, someone would open the door and put something in, and a little while later, somebody else would take it out. Then she could Eat Bugs!

Then one day some meep substitute mailman squished her with the Wednesday Grocery coupon supplement.

Soo, where are the meeping spiders?

Spiders are our friends!

The spiders are walking into the marketplace with a backpack bomb...it's Pakistan.

your own spider to play with
