Neither the Brown Recluse nor the Hobo Spider live in the area. And they’re the scary spiders that have a similar appearance to what you’ve got. Put a glass over it, slide some thick paper or cardboard underneath, and let the bugger go a good distance from your house. Spiders are good, they eat the nasty flying biting insects. Don’t kill them. I dunno what everyone’s problem with spiders is. I love spiders, and have several. They’re actually really cool. ---

> [@AKA-FERRARI](#): > > calm down it’s a WOLF SPIDER. Thats what I was told mine was too. I’ll swerve for birds in the road or let a ladybug outside, but when I see a huge spider indoors, I’m not leaving until it’s DEAD. I got used to the small ones working in at a nursery for 4 years, but big ones scare the shit out of me. ---

AHHHH i hate spiders… a brown recluse got me in georgia @ ft benning, on my wrist under my watch strap. within a few hours i had these crazy trackmark/rash-looking lines running from the bite all the way to my arm pit. they itched insanely. then the bite started looking like a water blister that continued to grow and grow… 5 hours later i was finally able to convince the drill sgts that it WASN’T poison ivy, and i should go get it checked out. :picard: A huge shot of something in my ass cheek and a bunch of antibiotics soon followed… anyway, i hope you gave that spider the people’s elbow. ---

Thats funny me and my buddy from work were just talking about the spiders we hate. He was telling me how he got bit by a brown recluse on his elbow but he caught it within four hours so he didn’t get it bad. Also was telling me about the camel spiders over in iraq. God i hate spiders. ---

Ack. I hate spiders. Although I have held a tarantula. But that’s more of an 8 legged rodent than a spider.

God damn I hate this thread. I fucking hate spiders. They’re probably one of my biggest fears. Those spiders are ALL OVER where I work. In the morning they’re always crawling on the news papers and shit before we open. UGH. I almost passed out the last time one was in the store. ---

FYI that wasn’t a BR that bit you. When they bite it will attack you the bite spot in a circular motion. The poison goes down to the center point of where the bite happened and will expand outwards. ---

> [@AKA-FERRARI](#): > > calm down it’s a WOLF SPIDER. I was gonna say the exact same thing. They are easy to tell…they are the largest form of spider around here.
