Here in the UK, the weather is changing, so the spiders come indoors looking for a dry/warm place to stay during Winter. I refuse to let them stay without paying rent!

Anyway, this is the 3rd one I've caught...

Spiders can be pretty cool... just not when they're in my house.

Oi Oi !!!

At first rain I awoke to an 8" SLUG
crawling on my ceiling overhead.

Oh he wasn't even THAT big. A simple flick of a shoe and he's dead, or the humane thing to catch him and to evict his eight legged butt.

You should see the cock roaches and palmetto bugs we get in Florida. And you should see the wolf spiders--things get as big as dinnerplates.

EWWW
Interesting looking critters!

makes me think of the film "Arachnaphobia" it's a classic

I was a wolf spider for Halloween one year....the costume included a string of baby wolf spiders on it

my friend chose it for me because I was (very) pregnant with my youngest son so he thought it was fitting

Ack! Ack! Ack! Spiders!

So Simon, what kind is it? Poisonous or not?

I let the black fuzzy spiders stay in the house, as long as they stay halfway up the wall or on the ceiling. Otherwise I toss them back outside.

And yes, I have been known to verbally tell the spiders that if I see them down the wall. They scuttle back up and stay up.

No it's not posionous Just a common house spider. You think I would stick my fingers up at a spider & get that close if it were?

I doubt we have hardly any dangerous spiders in the UK, if we do, then they've hitched a ride from elsewhere.

By the way, talking to spiders up the wall?... I think you're going up the wall with them

If I see a spider, I've got to catch it or I will keep thinking about it all night.

Could be worse bro...got stung by a scorpion last week in my living rom thn two day later one shoots onto my keyboard on the hunt and ready to sting. I let most bugs go....not the scorpions or bees. Those get killed on sight.

wish i hadn't read this post , now i need to go strip the bed sheets and shake em before i got to bed tonight. spiders & snakes... no thanks!!!

They just need some love and a hug.....Can't we all just get along?

Nah, I didn't mean testing it out. General know-how, internet and books keep one informed. I keep a Texas snakes website saved after I saw a speckled kingsnake in the woods (think black snake with yellow polka dots). Came in handy after I got bit by the yellow-bellied water snake (non-poisonous fortunately). Ditto with spiders. I squash black widows and brown recluse, no if ands or buts, but I don't worry too much about others. LOL!

And I can wholeheartedly agree about being odd talking to spiders. As one friend mentioned, my oldest horse is about the sanest one in my family, and that's not saying much. LMAO!

Rolls laughing.

My family is horrible about pranking each other with rubber snakes and spiders. I just pulled a tarantula toy out of my car yesterday.

Spiders aren't all than bad. I mean, once you get past the crunchy part...



... they taste like chicken!

i would have to go change my drawers if that happened to me lol

you know what kind of spider is in that pic? i have lots of them out back in the pasture. black ones with yellow markings and they make webs just like that.
