Creepy Crawlies

Found this bastard in my house a few weeks ago. The body was about the size of a silver dollar.

Yikes! :Poke:

[El Jefe]

Wow that thing is a monster.

[Donger]

Two questions: is it alive in that picture and what is the surface it is on?

[penguinz]

Two questions: is it alive in that picture and what is the surface it is on?Yes it is alive. It is on the carpet in the babies nursery that I have not had time to replace.

Screw that. If I had found him in my house he would be the size of a dinner plate in any pic I took of him


Gives me the willies. I hate spiders.

[Radar Chief]

Kind of looks like a wolf spider.

Pfft, spiders don’t bug me. I don’t go screwing with them, but I appreciate their contribution of killing and eating the things that really do creep me out. Like roaches.

Yep. The wife freaked out when she saw it and put a bowl over it so I could deal with it when i got home.

I know how it goes. I had to rush to the rescue of Mrs. Radar yesterday when a cricket started jumping across the floor.

Kill that nasty f*cker.

I'll take a large increase in flies, mosquitos, roaches, etc. in exchange for a mass extinction of spiders.

[Sure-Oz]

damn i hate spiders kill it

[Simplex3]

Yeah, I wouldn't f**k around. I'd call an exterminator, especially if those fuggers are in the baby's room.

It is a harmless wolf spider. They make great pets.

[DJJasonp]

blowtorch.

cant stand any spider...regardless of size.

And this pic just gave me at least 3 nights of nightmares.

Damn myself for opening this thread.

i've never come accross one this big. i kill most spiders, but never a wolf spider. as for pets, i'd never keep one that way, but they are good to have around the house...they kill almost everything

[chasedude]

Wow! That is one HUGE wolf spider! Hope he/she's helping kill the crickets and other crap getting in the house.

I am pretty sure it was crickets. One of the garage doors is needs to be replaced and does not close completely. So we got quite a few crickets in the garage and basement this summer. I assume that when it started getting cooler this guy moved upstairs where is is warmer.

If you look really close to the ass end of that thing you will see three small nodules protruding. Those remain in the outward position for about 48 hour after giving birth.

[JBucc]

I'm not sure why, but the larger spiders like tarantulas don't scare me. I guess it's because all the ones I've seen and held are really laid back and cool. The smaller ones that run around everywhere I don't like though. That one looks to be just a larger version of the running around ones, so I would probably kill it.

Spiders have a bad rep.... just because they're not warm and fuzzy.... they get squished despite all their natural contributions to pest control.

But yet caterpillars are actually destructive as hell to plants, while remaining "cute" because they're shaped differently.

Silly humans....

Also, the caterpillar generally lacks jagged fangs which when dripping with nasty venom shoot hell out of the perception of cuteness.

[StcChief]

Spider kill flys, roaches etc. Getting cold they wanna come inside.

[Bump]

I'd rather see that then a brown recluse in the baby's room. Or any room for that matter.
