Spiders don't normally frighten me, but if I saw one of those that was posted that shows up in Iraq, I'm done for! :eek:

Why? They're only about 4" long and not venomous. :)Quote:

I must report, that Mr. Squeaky Spider met his fate, this evening, around 8:30pm. He was high up on the wall above the stairs, well beyond reach. My dad brought the vacuum, and stood there, thinking how to reach him. He was way too high. After a minute, it was like Sqeaky Spider decided that he WANTED to die..........perhaps he wanted to go to the RB to meet all of his spider friends. Squeaky Spider ran down the wall, and into our reach, where he met his fate, and got sucked by Mr. Vacuum.
RIP Squeaky Spider........you will be missed..........
NOT! :p

A Brown Recluse yes, otherwise not at all. Besides, with all the 17yr cicadas about to pop out of the ground in a week or so (20 billion kazillion of them) my poor spidies wont have a chance this year
PCB, I wish I hadn't read those posts about the spider killings. How sad :(
I just can't kill something that I know is not harmful to me. It looms large with me that I am snuffing out a living being's life, and that it better be a good reason to do so, i.e. for my survival or that of my loved ones. Who am I to say the life of a spider is less significant than the life of a pretty butterfly, or a bat, or a bird?
I know I know... oversensitive here.
edit: Should say I did not mean to be preachy in my post. Rereading it I can see it sounding that way. I eat meat, am not against hunting (for food, can't stand 'trophy' hunting) etc. etc. I just personally cannot kill something because I don't like its species. :o
YES
