I can;t find a high stuff thread.
I'm scared of heights, but I love being high up - I love that rush of fear.0 -

Ah, a cellar spider:

Oh gross :shock: I can't stand them - but I had to look despite the warning
I took the cats to the vet yesterday and one of them had an average size spider hanging from the front of the catbox as the vet was pulling him out. She screamed and jumped across the room (the vet not the spider) and waited for me to get rid of it. But I was as terrified as her and the cat was no help as he was terrified of the vet :roll:
I bravely tackled it myself in the end and she made me kill it, but then I realised she was supposed to be a vet and said what if it was my pet baby tarantula? But she didn't reply as she'd lost the power of speech. When I was little I used to work out how long it would take me to kill every single spider in the world but eventually I realised that killing one was nigh on impossible so I'd have to spend my life avoiding them.Canyon XC 8.0 '11

sonic, dont those cellar spiders kill/eat the larger house spiders?
Hard to believe isn't it?0 -
Very true! The house spider often wonders into its web, gets bitten and is game over.0

The wife pointed out a huge spider to me the other day, he was making himself a cup of tea in the kitchen... Under a glass he went, piece of card placed over the end of the glass... I turned round to show him the door but somehow ended up throwing the spider at her.
She ran so fast she knocked the dog gate between the kitchen and lounge right over.
Oops.
I try not to kill them and won't even mention them until they're eating my crisps.0 -
The spider was making a cup of tea in your kictchen?0

It doesn't even qualify as a spider until it's big enough to beat you up, steal your wallet and go out on the p!ss.... Boo-yah mofo

They're cheeky like that. Just don't leave any biscuits unattended or they'll have those as well.0 -

Well it was stood on the box of sweeteners we had in there and it was bigger than them.

He's a big fella! I thought the really mahoosive ones were dwindling, but seem to be coming back. Look up Tegenaria parietina - biggest of all uk spiders.0

TBH, I think that's what the one on my hand above was. It was definately larger, a bit heavier and a bit fiestier than the normal Tegenaria agrestis. Also it's markings were sligtly different. It's a pity Mrs C was such a gibbering wreck at seeing it run across the floor that she wouldn't come near it to get a decent photo. 0
