I was stargazing laying on the dock of the family cottage when i was a kid and we had a pair of dock spiders that were probably 3 or 4 inches across (leg span) and i fell asleep and woke up when one decided i was nice and warm and was crawling across my face.....
i had never seen a dock spider before. I thought it was a tarantula and screamed so loud i woke my parents up in the house lol the thing was bigger than the lens on my flashlight!!!! My dad thought is was hilarious and i thought my momwas going to pass out. After that i could not leave the poor things alone, and by the end of the summer it would eat little pieces of hamburger out of my hand. Lol

Your right OC... everything has its place, even mosquitoes, they feed baby fish. Snakes, well all the ones we dont see much of anymore, take care of the rodents.

I know for a guy it sounds bad, but spiders are just not my thing. I know people keep saying they only have eight legs but when they are running at you I think it's more like seventy eight. I have been bitten by the little ba... buggers enough times to know they are not "harmless" and last summer one really did a job to my back leg. OC there are a lot of spiders in the hay fields that are so close to a Canadian version of tarantula it's unbelievable, you probably got one of those lol.
On a funny note, I never feel more like a big baby when I'm playing with little chicks in the basement and suddenly a huge furry spider drops down, for a split second I'm ready to yell "run for your lives" while the baby chicks are thinking "wow nummy treat"!

That's okay.. if I see a snake I'm a 250 screaming girl! Or frogs.. yes I'm terrified of frogs.. I own tarantulas, wrestle with my 200lbs mastiff but you get a frog and show me... I'm out!!Skinny rooster wrote:QR_BBPOST I know for a guy it sounds bad, but spiders are just not my thing.
