I've seen some pretty mean spiders here in Ohio but that thing takes the cake. BTW, I hate spiders. Not all spiders, and won't kill if them if I don't have to but the still creep me out. I did have a wolf spider that always liked to come out while I worked on computers last fall. Named him George never bothered me even one time it sat on my hand. Still that thing w/ the prickly thorn...ugh.

Every spider you dont kill is responsible for untold numbers of dead flys etc....
show them some love and you wont regret it..

How's george doing now or has he gone somewhere else?

The only spiders i've had in my room are iddy biddy things, if they're on my ceiling at night i chuck them out the window with a glass but i've never squished one i don't think

I should have taken a picture of my funnel web - fortunately not the lethal one, but either a labyrinth spider or possibly a hobo (and hobo's are biters).

Falstaff · Oct 4, 2007, 10:06 PM

if you have any funnel web spinners that would be so cool, nothing but boring ole fuzzy grey ones here and they arent particulerly scared of anything at all! You can pick them up and take them outside while they plan to sneak in again..LOL...
Spiders....
got to love them.
