I hate SPIDERS ! And anything like them..........


My girlfriend found her outside on a concrete wall. And that scorpion survived just fine. But she also showed up right after the ground vibrations.
 
Good god man! You are very lucky. By using a BK2 for that you might have demolished your entire bathroom counter with one blow!

I went easy on it. I swears I did. lol

A touch of research suggest that she may have been poisonous.
So yes Sosa I might look into it. You know what they say. Third ones a charm.

My brother in law is a special forces marine and is really scared of spiders. Last time he was in town he told us about getting his a** chewed out for making too much noise during a training operation. He was leading his squad through the woods at night and walked right into a giant spider web. He says that he didn't scream but musta made some kinda noise cuz his buddies started calling him Spidey cat after that. He's in Okinawa now so there probably aren't any spiders in the jungles over there right? :D
 
We have those orb spiders here in Iowa also. Had a massive one living near out front door a few years ago. I kept feeding it bugs and beetles. Haha. It used to shred everything that came near the porch! Kept it nice and tidy. Haha. But still freaky scary though.
 
Super uncool man. I'm absolutely terrified of spiders. I'm here in Michigan and before I moved into the city, I had 5 acres out in the middle of nowhere surrounded by woods. That was heaven, save for the wolf spiders. Yeah....wolf spiders. Their body is about the size of a quarter, with long, thick hairy legs. Plus they can run about 80 miles an hour to boot. Ok....maybe not quite 80, but close enough. We also have these thick ass little black spiders.....don't know what they are called but they are as quick as a hiccup. Seriously......they have little thick, plump bodies and they make short little bursts that are mind bogglingly quick (not sure mind bogglingly is a word, but if it's not, I think you still know what it means.).

I'm so afraid of spiders.......years ago, a "friend" of mine caught a wolf spider in a jar. He said he thought it was a frog jumping around in the corner of this building we were working in. Knowing I was afraid of spiders, he chased me with it and threw it at me while I was running. The last thing I remember was turning around while I was running and seeing that damn wolf spider flying through the air towards me. My body shut down. I lost my hearing and my body went completely numb for almost an hour. I passed out on the floor in a dead sprint.

When I was a little kid, maybe 5 or 6, my parents caught me in the living room with a hammer, smashing holes in the wall trying to kill a spider.

Where this fear stems from, I don't know, but I have dreams about spiders on a somewhat regular basis and the fear I have in my dreams is incomprehensible.

So yeah......not real fond of spiders.

.......but not snakes?

One great thing about living in northern climes is that there isn't a lot that's deadly poisonous that can survive winter. AFAIK, there is still a Timber Rattlesnake den or two here in NH, but Fish and Game ain't tellin' anybody where it is. NO other poisonous snakes. Spiders? One, the Northern Black Widow.....of which almost none have been sighted, and the Brown Recluse, which is not native but an occasional visitor.
Great thing about winters, IMO.
I saw this list once; The 5 Greatest Things About Winter Camping:

1. All the stinging insects have frozen to death.
2.
3.
4.
5.


I thought it was funny.
 
While we were camping, my son walked over to me with a folded up canvas chair and asked, "Hey Dad! Is this a black widow?" These were the dark ages before I had seen the light of Beckerdom, and all I had on me was a Bark River Highlander Special which did a passable job on the task of dispatching the eight legged beastie.

Scorpion looks like a bark scorpion. We get them from time to time in my house, and I've inadvertently 'found' five so far, as they match my living room carpet. Two with my right hand, two with my feet, and I rolled over one while playing with my cat (took a sting on my left thigh and left shoulder). The last two weren't bad, I'm guessing due to mass tissue. But the other ones made me feel like I'd been playing with fire (literally). My hand was numb for three days the last time. Never seen one around my house though, except for my shed. Couple of big ones this year out there, one in a black widows web. Got a KaBar kukri in the living room for the next 'lil monster'.
 
I've heard horror stories about camel spiders. I pray it's more story than reality, but still.....they sound like hell on earth. The only way spiders could get more terrifying is if they could fly. The day I hear they have come up with flying spiders......I'm checking out. Just like the old timers would speak of the days of hunting wolverine.....they would always carry a handgun with them......and it wasn't for the wolverine. I hear about flying spiders, I will be carrying a handgun with me.......and it won't be for the spiders.
 
Camel spiders. Oh god. I once had one run up my leg while I was dropping the Browns at the Super Bowl.

Worst. Experience. Ever.
 
Grew up in the country in an old house, scorpions were just part of it, whether you were inside or outside. Swear you could find them sometimes as big as lobsters. Scorpions, spiders, snakes, and other varmints all want inside your nice little home. A couple protips for you, FIRST get your house sprayed, it will make a BIG difference, SECOND, dont leave towels, pants, etc on the ground, THIRD, stabbing the scorpion with the tip of your blade will both dispatch it and allow you to easily carry the impaled bug for disposal. :thumbup:

HAPPY HUNTING!!!! :D
