Chris you are a nicer person than I am. I absolutely hate spiders. I probably would have held the shirt under water until the horrid thing drowned. I just don't like things that crawl on me. Your little spider thingie even gave me the creeps.

[Hellow]

Hey, i have an pet spider. an small, non-poisonous spider named blackie!

[RedHedd]

Spiders are good luck! Go buy a lottery ticket!

[CathyBogart]

Hehe, I'm not normally afraid of spiders either but I almost caused an accident one day when one swung down on a strand of silk in front of my face while I was driving!!

Oh, I'm not a nice person, believe me. I just hate to kill any creatures. The majority just go about living their lives and doing no deliberate harm, which is more than you can say for the human race. Just my opinion.

A relative has made its way on to a wall in my living room. (It's the same size as the one that was on my shoulder.)

Well, I dared and I looked & it's creepy looking alright.


If I found one on me, I'd be more upset that just seeing one in the doorway
or something. They serve their purpose in the world I suppose.

OMG!

If THAT thing was on my shoulder, I would have screamed and maybe even peed my pants!

Now I don't know my spiders, but that looks dangerous.... like a brown recluse or something. (Of course, I am also frightened of snakes and would think that a garder snake was a rattler! )

I would be looking for a nest soemwhere!

Can ya tell? I don't like spidies!

[Sevaede]

That DOES look like a brown recluse!

[ChrisH]

It's just an ordinary house spider, albeit one of the big kind. Autumn is mating time and the males are all pretty busy running around looking for a mate. Who am I to get in their way.

I would have absolutely FREAKED OUT Just seeing the picture gives me the heebee jeebies!

[Pam]

I can't believe I was brave enough to look! Chris I would have been afraid to lay the ruler down next to it for fear that the spider would run over and jump on my hand. Can you tell I am afraid of those things?

Once, years ago when I was a teenager, (OK many years ago when I was a teenager ) I walked up our front walk and right through a huge spider web that was built between two evergreen trees. It was huge and felt like rope as I walked through. I ran inside and starting stripping off my clothes even before I was in the privacy of my bedroom!

Pretty cool statement.....I have never seen anything so scary looking, spiders out here aren't that big. I cannot stand spiders of any kind...yuck.

[crow_noir]

YEaaeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Egads!

Those things are creepy. I like to look at them outside, but i keep my distance.

p.s. for what it's worth... since everyone else is stating what they think it is... It looks like a type of Garden spider to me. ...maybe just because of how stretch looking the front legs are... other than that it looks like the unidentified window spiders that i call Guardian spiders. (long story... but as much as those creep me out... I like having them around. They've done me a few favors.) It actually looks like a mix between the two from around here.
