Giant Spiders

  1. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed how massive the spiders are this year? They've been big before but seem to be outdoing themselves this year :eek:

    I have one living outside my front room patio door. He is known as Satan. He's built the biggest web I've ever seen across the whole of the two doors and sits crossly in the middle looking gigantic. I checked to see if he was still there this morning and he was hanging out at the top of the door torturing a smaller spider so I ran away :p

    A bit later I wanted to open the door (luckily it opens inwards!) as it's a bit warm here today and as soon as he heard the door go he dropped straight down at me on a thread and started rearing up at me with his front legs >:D

    Here's a not zoomed in picture of the evil one rearing up at me just now:

  11. Oh I love Charlotte's Webb!!! Makes me cry every time I see it :'(

    There's just something about this spider that screams arachnophobia at me, he's so evil looking and earlier I noticed that a slightly smaller but equally nasty looking family member has set up home over the bedroom doors. It's like a pincer movement eek :eek:
     
  12. I had a spider crawl out from a hole in our headliner last weekend - it was easily 2 1/2" across with big black beady eyes and really hairy legs.

  17. Just had to go and reason with my 5 year old daughter who jumped off the loo (mid evacuation) screaming because a spider made itself known.

    Back to the paperwork now.
