"Dang Tomorrow. I heard a crazy story told to me by a friend. I think* this happened in Northern California. Some girl got bit pretty good by recluse(s), which I guess was a pretty rare occurrence for the area. She got very ill. Sometime later after recovery, it happened yet again(!), and so they had people come in to their home to do a thorough search. There was a large nest of them inside of her mattress!!!"

I knew this guy down in Florida that told me this story about this game he played when he was a kid. He would catch a fly and rip it's wings out so that it couldn't fly. Then he would yank it's legs off so it couldn't walk. He would deposit the poor fly in a spider's web. When the spider got done eating the fly this guy would then smash the spider.

He called the game The Last Supper.
No, I did not make that up.

I used to put the spiders in a jar with some twigs so they could build a web, then catch bees in that jar and see who survived.

I used Yahoo to look up info on the worlds largest spider. As you start typing in your search terms, it brings up the most common searches automatically. I typed in “largest”, and the third item on the list was “spider”.

People in South America, and I assume other parts of the world, capture tarantulas, bring the legs together over its body and wrap it in a banana leaf, tie the open end with fibers and cook it over a fire. They crack the shell and eat it like a crab.

I have seen that and was disturbed by it....

I wonder if brown recluses ever climb onto the roof and sing about being rich.

Only when they are drunk!

Nah Brown Recluses are overrated.

Try scorpions. Now those hurt like a you know what. And are armed to the tooth. We used to check our beds every night for them. Talk about shivers up the spine. We bombed the house twice due to our fears.

Shoot, I have seen in the flesh what theses little guys can do. Wished, I could find some pics to show you. Let me just say, it is one thing to see a picture and quite another in the flesh. I mean, the bite left a crater/whole in the leg of one of my friends. It it was full of pus just oozing out-yuck!!!!! it even smelled bad. But hey, scorpions are no fun either.

Actually, it was usually the spider.

There are only a few spiders that can be harmful such as the Brown Recluse and the Black Widow but the vast majority of spiders are absolutely harmless. Spiders are beneficial insects and about the best natural pest control you'll ever find.

I have never seen a Brown Recluse or a Black Widow around here although I know they are indigenous to this area. I do however have potentially hundreds of Wolf Spiders in my backyard and sometimes a few of them make it into the house.

Wolf Spiders do not spin webs. They run down their prey like a big cat and jump on it (I've seen them in action). I don't mind them at all because my house is pretty much bug free. Their only drawback is that they do not clean up after themselves. After they kill a bug, they just leave its carcass right where they ate it and you have to sweep up the guts.

Attached is a picture of a large specimen from my patio. This guy is about as big as they get - up to 2.5" long.

That spider there wants to sleep on Jamie's face tonight.

I make my g/f take care of them while I hide in the other room.

 

[vizionut]

Just as long as we don't have shelob around things can't be that bad.
