My philosophy on snakes is so simple even Dick and Jane would get it. See snake. Kill snake. Good snake! I also ain't screwing around with a spider so big that if I smack him with a shoe, he's liable to take it out of my hand and smack me back!

Pat Riot Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I want to thank or Aussie Pards, Major Crimes and Wallaby Jack. I had a dream last night that a Redback Spider with a body the size of the spider on that wall in the video was living in my home and she had babies the size of regular Redback Spiders. I had concocted a way to kill the "babies" with a hand vacuum that used a half full alcohol bottle as the vacuum receptacle and I was happily vacuuming up babies and killing them when Mama vanished and I couldn't find her. I was frantically looking about the house trying to figure where this several pound spider was when all of a sudden I felt sharp spidery legs land on my back...all the way across my back...and I woke up. Boy am I glad that was just a dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Here in the NW the largest spider is Eratigena atrica, aka the giant house spider. It's an import from Europe, and while nowhere near as big as some of the monsters in Australia it's known as the fastest creature on eight legs. They can move more than a meter per second. I had one living in the space below my gas fireplace, and one night it was sitting on the carpet a few feet away. I tried to get a large Dixie cup over it but it shot back into the space before I could get close enough. Two nights later I saw it again and got the idea to shine a flashlight on it to blind it, and that actually worked. The cup barely fit over its legs. They're supposedly not aggressive, but if I ever got one on me it wouldn't have to bite me to kill me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
