8/28/2011 3:45:10 PM

yeah i named a dozen of those charlotte when i was a kid because of the white stuff in the middle of their web

8/28/2011 3:46:41 PM

8/28/2011 3:47:37 PM

Growing up, I always knew those as a writing spider?

8/28/2011 3:55:17 PM

how the fuck did you not know that was a garden spider

I killed it with fire raid. I kinda feel bad, but I don't need my dogs getting bit by something like this. They come back with enough bull rings ( beatles will bite their nose and the dogs will decapitate them by licking. quite intriguing but a PITA to remove).

8/28/2011 7:08:25 PM

Writing spiders wouldnt bite. Goodnight, sweet spider.

8/28/2011 7:09:38 PM

today we are all black widows

8/28/2011 7:11:23 PM

I've got a bunch of those yellow and black orb-weavers all over the place, and I kill them even though they're harmless--just kinda scary.

I know they're not actually called orb-weavers or spinners though, but I can never remember their actual name. Don't think the ones I'm talking about are yellow garden spiders.

8/28/2011 8:47:47 PM

I thought black/yellow meant venomous?

Doesn't that rhyme go "black and yellow, they will murder you in your sleep"?

8/28/2011 10:40:59 PM

if black touches yellow, you're a dead fellow

if red touches black, you're ok Jack

(for coral snakes)



Nerdchick is write, this is a garden spider (aka a writing spider)... the only spiders I enjoy

8/28/2011 11:04:09 PM

Dude, I don't even kill garden spiders. And I'm terrified of spiders.


RIP Mr. Garden Spider. We barely knew you.

Aw, next time let them crawl on over here. I caught and released several crickets from my apartment last night.

My older brother used to get them on the end of a stick and hold me down, then dangle them in front of my face.

Hence, my egregious fear of spiders.

WRONG.

if black RED touches yellow, you're a dead fellow

if red touches black, you're ok Jack

Both scarlet snakes and scarlet kingsnakes, which are the two southeastern coral snake lookalikes have black bands touching white/cream/yellow bands.

if it's clear and yella, you got juice there, fella.

if it's tangy and brown, you're in cider town.

9/3/2011 7:40:27 AM

bump. saw this outside my car when i got home. i didn't wanna get real close so the picture sucks (and its a cell phone)..

7/17/2012 11:14:53 PM

its a buttereus facimus

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

I'm pretty sure that's a Nope McNope Nope Nope.

7/17/2012 11:36:43 PM

looks like a wolf spider.

they are terrifying


but harmless.


but still in the category of nope nope nope nope kill it from long range nope nope mcfucknope

7/17/2012 11:51:24 PM

unfortunately there is no way to identify this picture. If I were a gambling woman I would say a wolf spider too ^. They are very common and that is the right body structure and the legs look like lycosid legs, so it fits.

7/18/2012 9:16:55 AM

After watching this, I've decided that my feet need not touch the floor for a while.

7/18/2012 9:58:59 AM

that is a good thing tho ^

7/18/2012 10:08:01 AM

I'm fairly certain that my watching of Arachnophobia when I was way too young contributed to my extreme fear of spiders. I can't stand these threads. yyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

7/18/2012 10:14:14 AM

i believe cellar spiders (granddaddy long-legs or whatever you want to call them) also eat black widows and brown recluses

7/18/2012 10:15:40 AM

the spider in that grainy photo above doesn't have the same body shape as a wolf spider & looks way smaller.

maybe there are different types...? the ones around here look like the one in that video. a longer, flatter body. like this

it looks like a female with a full set of eggs ready to come out, and this is the right time of year.

also it could be any number of species from the lycosidae family.

7/18/2012 10:22:32 AM

To me, looks like something I would throw things at while screaming to me.

7/18/2012 10:25:13 AM

7/18/2012 10:25:45 AM

I did hit it with a flip flop, and she exploded with about 50 little ones.. Freaked me out even more. Can they live without the mom? They could move on their own and everything but I stomped all over the place. I'd hate for one day in a week to have like 10 of them in my garage

I have no doubt more than 10 spiders already live in your garage.

7/18/2012 1:01:34 PM

Not that look like that one

7/18/2012 1:10:46 PM

well sure, but there's still 10+ spiders in there, and they're all poisonous. C'est la vie.

7/18/2012 1:12:00 PM

One of my most terrifying childhood memories was Christmas of 2nd grade. We're all chilling on the couch watching TV when we notice our cat acting strange beside the Christmas tree. Look over and there's hundreds of tiny grey spiders pouring out of the base of the Christmas tree on the hunt. I wasn't able to sleep for weeks

7/18/2012 1:18:48 PM

The only good spider is a dead one. Fuck 'em all.

7/18/2012 1:23:53 PM

^^That's fucking hilarious. I guess it's a good basis for a spider phobia, but come on, you people Enjoy your fucking bugs, spider killers.

7/18/2012 1:28:40 PM

lol yeah I was fucking terrified of spiders for a long time thanks to that. I still don't like them very much

7/18/2012 1:30:57 PM

Snake and spider threads generally make me think most people are born with a vagina.
