“NEVER going to Costa Rica ........just sayin.”
And don’t watch the movie Mimic (1997) and its sequels. Those bugs can pass for people, at a distance.
And you don’t think in some dark ops lab there are not scientists figuring out how to take spider DNA and mix it with human DNA to get us better hearing.
I for one would applaud such a step. My 94 year old mother in law sits about ten feet from her TV and she has it turned up loud enough to feel it two doors down.
LOL!
Is that a picture of a member of the famous money laundering Tony Theraphosidae crime family?
#3 They lay eggs right away and use peroxide to feed the young.
Just a matter of time before they hatch.....
Why yes, its exactly as you say.
Being hearing impaired, I have to tell you , they can be detected with other senses too.
Please be nice to your mother in law!
Before technology exceeded my impairment,my children would run to tell their mother,'he has the volume set on 40 again!'.
With my newest aids and a Bluetooth adapter on the TV, I can hear almost as well as anyone!
They’re called the Costa Rica chicken-eating spider because they’ve been seen dragging off chickens. The chickens may or may not have been pre-deceased.
Oops! Forgot the smiley :) Didn’t want that to come across as snarky.
My Mother in law has lived with us since 1993. Trust me...I win the award for being nice to my mother in law.
We also spent about $3,500 on hearing aids. She wore them for a week.
I wear head sets if I am watching in my room down the hall. Most of the time we retire to different ends of the house.
Our recipe for success is that she never offered her opinion. And I never asked.

Are cockroaches good for ANYTHING?
Are they, at least, bird food? They are disGUSTing.
I LIKE the way you think.
ONE DAY in my life I would LOVE to crank up a flamethrower and let fly...just for the heck of it. They really are awesome, aren't they?
Oh yeah, you know it! It’d be a fun toy for sure, but on the battlefield the lifespan of a flamethrower operator is about two minutes. For some strange reason, the enemy concentrates on eliminating them as quickly as possible...but there is always the flamethrower tank.
There is something PARTICULARLY horrible, ghastly and sickening about killing someone with a flamethrower. Probably from our deepest fears of Satan's hell.
Google: The Inferno is the first part of Dante Alighieri's 14th-century epic poem Divine Comedy. It is followed by Purgatorio and Paradiso. The Inferno tells the journey of Dante through Hell, guided by the ancient Roman poet Virgil.
In the poem, Hell is depicted as nine circles of suffering located within the Earth; it is the "realm...of those who have rejected spiritual values by yielding to bestial appetites or violence, or by perverting their human intellect to fraud or malice against their fellowmen."
As an allegory, the Divine Comedy represents the journey of the soul toward God, with the Inferno describing the recognition and rejection of sin.
Drawings that accompanied it were usually depictions of fire and suffering.
I remember getting a cup of HOT COFFEE spilled down my little nine-year-old arm at a park. The idiot woman who spilled it then RUBBED my arm with a Kleenex, thus acerbating the pain and damage.
I carry STILL the faint, narrow, nine-inch long remains of that excruciating pain. NOTHING more painful than burns. It was "only" a first degree burn but I remember the pain. It hurt like, well, like hell.
I meant using it in a civilian role, like burning brush, etc. I’ve seen vids of them people own being demonstrated, just as effective as their military counterparts, which are now obsolete. Cheaper than a Class 3 weapon.
