JDHUNTING 1,817 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 I had a tarantula when I was a kid so I'm not too squemish with spiders but twice now I've been panned out nodding off on couch when a great cardinal spider ran on my belly and ran straight up my chest towards my face, I didn't know I could still move so quick And in Cornwall a few years back I got up early put dressing gown on and went to make a brew when I felt something round my elbow which then started moving down my arm, I had no choice but to hold my arm out and wait for it to pop out and it did after a minor heart attack I shook it off and took this pic, was a right stocky thing I'd not seen before, one of the. false widows I think 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But like’s to roll on them when he’s killed them lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 1,866 Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) My bedroom growing up was always full of spiders because my sister was terrified of them and whenever she screamed for me I couldn't be bothered to take them outside so I always put them in my room instead.

Meece 1,957 Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) So it's not just us then? The Mrs goes up to bed earlier than me and the other night there was her beating going on. It was like the James bond film. we've controlled several large spiders in the last few weeks. I look for the small females that the big males follow and try to fix them. One night I was woken up by her going Looney in bed. A tarantula had made the mistake of absailing down onto her. Bloody spiders. Bloody insects in General. Edited September 9, 2020 by Meece Quote Link to post Share on other sites
