Holy Smokes that was a big spider....

Ohhhhh geeeeeze oh geeze oh geeze! I'm reliving yesterday's nightmare now!

Yesterday morning, I'm getting the kiddos off to school, and Nathaniel comments as we're standing in the foyer by the front door... "Look Mom, there's bugs on the floor!" I look down and see teeeeeny little specks....all moving....all eight-legged little spiders....bazillions of them! And then Austin pipes up, "There's the Mom!" And right there in my dining room was one of the largest wolf spiders I have ever seen. I can't remember the last time I was so thoroughly creeped out!!

Austin took one look at my face and said, "I know, I know, I'll get the vacuum cleaner!" Such a good boy! But the mamma spider had hidden by the time he got back with it. I called an exterminator that morning and by that afternoon had the house fully fumigated.

I'm perfectly ok with spiders out in the wild (or even in my yard!) where they belong...but they can NOT stay in my house!

Daaaang, Christie, Now I'm totally all creeped out again! :colbert: :rage: :rolleyes:

Sorry to make you relive that. They sure do make these things BIG in the south. :oops:

I would not have been happy to see one in my house. :O :no:

okay.. now that i've gotten over my willies.. thanx Christie :colbert: I can appreciate the beauty of the spider even with its bazillion babies on board.. but I definitely am not fond of any creepy crawlies, especially in my house! neat pic though.. def. not something that you see everyday. :D

Awww! I bet she's really thankful that you got her out of the pool :oops: Poor lady... that just proves what an awesome Pixi you are! :D

That is all kinds of nasty...

I don't have a fear of spiders, but don't have to like them either.

We breed roaches and mealworms and those don't bother me but something about a large spider with a million little babies on it's back is just...I don't know..wrong...

I'm just trying to get everyone in the mood for Halloween... yeah that's it. :rolleyes:

When I got her out a few of the babies fell off and scurried all over the place. I do have to say that my skin did crawl just a bit. :oops:

I bet she was, not to mention all the babies. I could just hear them whining that they didn't want to take a bath. :giggle:

Now see that's just messed up. I can deal with mealworms and beetles, no prob, but ROACHES? I can barely type just thinking about those nasty things. Palmetto bugs are the worst though.

Have you ever heard a cicada scream? I thought there was an animal being tortured in my backyard but it was just a big old cicada being chased by my dog. That was pretty yucky, especially after my dog caught it and all I heard was crunch crunch crunch. BLEH! *shudder*

No animal is nasty.:)

Nice find.

Be nice!

I am glad it was you that found it. Not only would I have not had the courage to get it out of the pool and the piece of mind to take a photo, but I would have been still running away (or locked myself in the bathroom). The only kind of spider I want in my house is the bp kind. Really really neet photo
