Its a fact that all the time we are wandering around, we are constantly wading through invisible Spiders Webs.
Early in the mornings I can feel them brushing against my face as I go outside!
The sight of them is amazing to see on a cold, Frosty morning!

Wonderful constructions...Clever Spiders!

Yes, nothing quite like the great British countryside.

I walked through a spider's web once... The damn spider was stuck to my chest... It was a big, poisonously coloured, effer too!

Never again

The biggest spiders we have around here are wolf spiders. They are big and freaky looking, but harmless to humans. I've heard that on the rare occasion that they do bite a person it just feels like a bee sting and itches for a few days.

Spiders don't bother me unless they are in my house. The get squashed if found indoors and left alone if found outside. ;)

Any tiny creatures that I don't like in the house, or are trapped in the house against their will, I carefully put in a small container, and gently release them outside....

...whether they like it..or not... ;)...!

When it comes to spiders in the house I'm a trigger happy border guard...

Used to be terriffied of 'em then those massive house spiders started showing up about 8 years back. Dissposing of them was prefferable to having them running around plotting and spying (why else would they need so many eyes.....)
Anywho I've vanqushed so many now that they dont bother me. They still end up in a whisky glass, legs tucked in to fit, then onto the patio to be introduced to the flat side of my size 10's though.... keeps the birds happy, and in turn the cats when they come over to greet the feather brains  ;)

the bad thing is:giant house spiders can grow massive,but they are still common(exept in craig's house).
i mean:they can grow nearly the size of some tarantulas,but how common is it to find a tarantula?
and from what i heard tarantulas aren't agresive,those giant house bastards sometimes attack you at first sight!

That's the nice thing about wolf spiders, when they do come inside, they just ignore you.

I once killed a spider with a J-3 Cub. It hid in front of the tire, so I just rolled the airplane forward and "crunch". This is proof that airplanes are dangerous. :P

Eight eyes, eight legs with two knees each, able to walk in any direction upside down. Fangs. Spinnerets that spin the strongest material known to man. Shouldn't be no guilt showing them the door with all those assets.
