    Re: Holy Smokes that was a big spider....

    The spider was bigger than some of the field mice I've pulled out of my pool. It was ENORMOUS! Not to mention they're about the same color.

    Most of the wolf spiders around here are about the size of a quarter to a half dollar size, but in the last couple weeks we've seen very large ones. I also found another weird bug by my front door, that I'll have to post pics of later. (I've got to go get ready for my kid's soccer games but I needed my morning bp.net fix)

    Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
    You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
    On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
    You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
    Then you Stand

    I hate spiders. I really don't like them. Scorpions I have no problems with, but I hate spiders. That pic is the stuff of nightmares lol

    Thanks. Apparently everyone down here calls them jumping spiders, although I've never really seen one jump.

    Now see I'm the opposite. I'd rather a spider than a scorpion. Scorpions have pinchers, mouth and a tail to have to watch out for.

    I saw this in my pool this morning skittering around. Intially I thought it was a mouse! The thing was about the size of the palm of my hand and looked even bigger with all those babies on her back. I of course had to go running for my camera, and now I have to share with all of you.

    thanx now i,ll never get to sleep tonight

    Well here's a story that you can laugh at me over...

    My mom used to have a couple Ts when I was growing up, and they absolutely TERRIFIED me. I just knew I would wake up one night with that nasty thing on my chest. My mom saved one of the shed's and pinned it oh so nicely on this styrofoam tray (unbeknownst to me). Ten years pass and I'm rifling through some stuff on top of my mom's dresser and all of a sudden I see a large spider falling on my head! I screamed and killed that shed DEAD!!! I just about had a heart attack. (I lived in MD at the time and Ts are NOT normal there) I felt so bad that my mom had saved that shed for so long and I had destroyed it, but I was ready to hurt her at the same time. It took my a long time to get over that and not squeal whenever I saw a spider.
