Love me some spiders, I have orb weaver thats been living in my yard since june its amazing to see her web get merked then rebuilt in just a few hours.

also <3 me some king snakes too, snakes are huge benefactors when it comes to killing pest/varmint. King snakes are generally docile, curious and gentle but again, peoples irrational fears get the better of them. We need to teach our young about the creatures they live with and not to fear nature.

god, this brings back some horrible memories for me and some of my friends. you may know them, they go by crzysavage, wretchy, jeffboski, and bpv. this was 4 years ago, maybe 5. we were in las vegas for the wsop and 1 night we were just hanging out watching tv, drinking some beer, doing some pot when all of a sudden a fucking spider the size of a shoe comes out of nowhere. gressy yells like a girl and jumps onto the coffee table. i have never seen anyone jump, let alone 5 feet off the ground, after drinking this amount of alcohol, smoking, and taking nyquil an hour before. i think it (the spider that is, not gressy) hid under the oven for awhile as we tried to get it out and make it leave so we could sleep that night. well eventually it came out and suddenly gressy hurls someone elses shoe at it barely even hitting the spider. and what the fuck do we see. thats right. hundreds of tiny spiders disperse across the floor and into other rooms. i can still vividly picture this fucking mammoth of a spider and all the little babies flying away. i cant even remember how the story ends but it was a terrifying night and we all somehow survived this tragedy.

doing some pot?

Someone post pics of spider infestation due to flooding I'm Australia

Yeas that's where I'd draw the line. That one is meeting its maker

Oddly enough, I just didn't really know how to go about killing it. The exterior was hard looking so doubt my bug spray would do anything but piss it off; and I didn't wanna risk getting it on a flat surface to crush b/c if it got out of sight I was fucked. Spatula and bucket seemed most fitting. Plus I was trying to get it in with this girl and pretty sure dealing death is not the most panty dropping of foreplay maneuvers.

Nah I was talking about the female. Anyone who doesn't know
What a scorpion is called deserves the boot.

Just didn't seem like you were aware there is literally bugs under your skin so thought I'd let you kno

This is a real common misconception. Chiggers don't actually burrow into skin.

One of the biggest myths or misconceptions about chiggers is that they can burrow under your skin and drink your blood. This leads to the common treatment for chiggers of putting clear nail polish on chigger bites to suffocate the chiggers. Since chiggers don't actually burrow under your skin, this 'treatment' is unnecessary.

It sucks cause this exacerbates my situation. I got stung in the eye when I was a kid so I am borderline apiphobic. Even if a bee that can't sting/bite is flying around me I get really anxious and can't stand still, so obviously this fear makes it worse when it is a bee that can actually sting so I tend to get stung more than the average person.

Yeah I don't have any better sources at the moment and don't have a ton of time to search. I can tell you though I probably scanned online for like 3-4 hours last night in desperation and time and time again I came across things that talked about that misconception so it has to be true.

If Obama would just sign another executive order the CHiggers wouldn't be such a problem.
