Wow that’s some web skills.
She was certainly special.
None of the others have been near as trusting [or spoiled] as she was.
Currently, there is some strange white spider with a fat butt living out there.
It keeps jumping into the sink, on purpose.
No idea why but the last time I fished it out, it stood on the edge of the sink and defiantly threw a strand of silk to the inside corner and zoomed back in again.
At this rate, I have doubts it will live long.
Hubby is not as mindful of ‘checking’ before he turns on the water, as I am.
The best was when we fed her a grasshopper.
The thing walked down the funnel and received a greeting of “fangs in the face” as she dragged him fully down the hole.
She was real well fed, she didn’t respond to stuff bothering her web for three days after chowing down on him.
After that we dropped caterpillars to her once she was hungry again.
Cutworms, king army worms, the crop destroying kinds.
She got real big on those.
Then she took off.
Yeah I don't think that one will make it long.....
Wish I knew what that one exactly was, but he was yellow and black in coloration as well as being the size of my hand.
Weird as heck.
Hit breeding size and went looking for a guy, maybe?
All I can figure is either it’s *really* thirsty or it dropped its engagement ring down the drain.
;D
yeah, no, i’d go into cardiac arrest.
I know the logic is flawed.
It’s like being afraid to get in a plane but not being afraid of cars.
I would walk the Manhattan streets at 3am after my shift used to end in Manhattan.
But I’ll get faint at the sight of spiders that are probably the smallest ones you’ve ever seen.
go figure.
Maybe.
But it was funny to watch her soccer kick pillbugs out of her web.
LOL
No meat on ‘em?
Get a cat. My fur babies always ate Charlotte.
They’d curl up and her fangs couldn’t punch through.
You’d hear faint ticking noises as she tried.
Then she’d throw her first two legs upward and kick with her second set, tossing the pillbugs out of the web.
We’d crack jokes about “goooooooal!”
LOL. Yeah phobias can be weird like that. Me, I’m afraid of deep deep water....and losing loved ones. That last one is frequent nightmare material.
ROFL!
Or it has a death wish. But I’m gonna go with the ring.....The spider sounds like Gollum trying to retrieve his precious.
I like spiders. They eat flies. I hate flies.
That looks like my perp, yes.
Oklahoma, 1996.
He was eating a bird.
The guys tagging along on the misadventure were rather horrified.
And we all stood there staring at it.
One time my wife saw a very large spider in our bed when changing the sheets. She insisted that I go up there and kill it but I could not find it. I looked everywhere and practically disassembled the entire bed. But you guessed it, she slept in a spare bedroom that night and then the next and then the next...
At first it was nice having the bed all to myself but I eventually had to go outside, find a spider, kill it, and bring it to the bedroom where I triumphantly announced that I had finally found it and killed it. Once she saw it, she was okay to come back to our bed again.
