 fukengruvin says: Clock Spider Long ago (in Internet years), someone came home to see four giant spider legs hanging out from the clock on their wall. Naturally, most people would monkey scream, and bounce into the safety of the night like a baby deer. This brave soul, however, grabbed a camera, removed the clock from the wall, and photographed the horror found beneath. Although the Huntsman spider isn't poisonous, we're fairly certain nobody could get so close to a vicious beast without losing at least a limb or two as a tasty spider snack. A large huntsman can give a very painful bite, he was lucky, personally I would fun a mile Personally I think he's rather lovely. I like spiders. There are some of either these fellows or some very close (smaller) relatives of these guys live around my old family home in Kerala, they crawl into the house when it rains *shudder* Spiders freak me out big time....I stay the heck away from them Ok I ain't a scaredy cat but that would freak me out! Oh God, I would have completely lost it. What a brave soul. Or crazy. Naturally, most people would monkey scream, and bounce into the safety of the night like a baby deer.Lol - I can picture that! What great imagery. Personally I think he's rather lovely. I like spiders.I'll have to agree with you there, michellezm. I would've reached for my camera too! I can hardly look at these photos without wanting to shut down the computer! I like little spiders. Big ones scare the wits out of me! Wow!  It's biggest I have seen so far. No spider is poisonous, nor is there any record of anyone ever dying from eating one. However, although huntsmen spiders rarely bite, they are venomous. Ironically, huntsmen spiders typically flee rather than attack. What may surprise most people, is the fact that no spider's bite is capable of killing a man unless there is a failure to clean and protect the wound as you would with any other type of wound. Spiders simply do not provide enough venom with their bites to do the job. Moreover, the average person's likelihood of being bitten by a spider is probably less than twice in a lifetime. An arachnologist in Washington state, who specializes in spiders, was bitten only twice in 30 y... I have *met* many huntsmen. The last one was positioned neatly on the ceiling directly above the bed! Needless to say, it HAD to be removed. Hubby sprayed it with insecticide, (too big and scary for me to even attemp to catch and release) where after it scuttled across the ceiling for a few steps and then fell and landed on the floor with a THUMP. I did NOT get much sleep that night. Ugh. OMG, I would move far far away if i ever saw one of these in my house! I can't stand spiders! My wife would have trapped it though I'm sure... Ick. And some more ick. |
