Here's a picture of a spider that I found under my baker's rack awhile ago--I can't identify it though...was hoping some of the wonderful folks here might be able to help.
If it's a garden spider, we'll do a release into the back yard garden, but I have a 5 y/o and I don't want to take a chance that it's a dangerous spider.
Anyone got an idea what this might be?
Do you own a cat? They are good at ridding the house of spiders.
We also keep alive our daddy long legs (letting them live in a couple corners of our house), they are good for eating other bugs and spiders like this.
Umm, a chicken from the UK?
Thats my arch enemy.
Arachnoid lad.
close ..........
Them things give me the creeps.
Tain't a brown recluse...those are much skinnier. Looks like a small wolf spider. Take it outside and let it go.
p.s. I'll find my spider!
Yes, it is fuzzy, but it's hanging upside down so I can't quite tell what markings are underneath it (though I used the flashlight to see it a little more than the camera flash was showing).
There's actually two spiders in the pic, one is dead in the nest/web there. Don't know if it was the mister or what.
KC, do you ever knit sushi balls?
Personally, I would've squished it.
Since I got bitten by a black widow about 5 years ago, I'm pretty wary of 'em ALL.
Shrinkage alert. He looks like he just got out of a cold pool from the way his nips are sticking out.
Reminds me of the late, great Lewis Grizzard, who said there was only ONE kind of snake...the dreaded Copperheaded Water Rattler. :o) A snake so mean that if you checked into a hotel, it would check into the room next to you and bite you when you went out to the pool.
Nope...just socks, scarves, lace, afghans and conundrums...oh and the occasional mitten as well.
Sushi I eat.
Heh! My granddad had that attitude too, God rest his soul.
Since snakes eat rodents on the farm, and I prefer them to cats, I just let 'em cruise on by unless they're too close.
But I have been known to blow some water moccasins away if they're in the pond behind my house.
I get nervous when they're as fat as my wrist.
If I even suspect a spider might be a BR, you can be sure that I will not be getting close enough to it to try to count its eyes.
This little fella has been hanging out in my basement.
SUB-basement, actually. Looks like he dug it out all by himself.
What in the world did you say to her to make her bite you? Wow, I sure hope it wasn't anything racial or something.
