“The only thing that could make those spiders worse, is if they emitted some type of chirp or shriek while approaching their prey.”
I have had that thought as well! Imagine hearing a spider shrieking somewhere in your house as you freak out trying to find the damn thing and kill it. You’re up at 2 AM, nerves shot, with your RAID artillery...
It would be like trying to find which smoke detector keeps beeping. They seem to get quiet once you get near.
Then as soon as your back is turned...BEEP!!
hehehehe Russel Crowe. Almost like you slipped that one by people.
Release them in New York city and Baltimore!
What do you have against spiders? Release them where they at least have a fighting chance, like in hell.
I was painting our cabin and shoved the brush up under the eaves without looking. Down came a big spider and landed on the grass down below. Had a dab of white paint on him.
I pondered going down and killing it - but too much trouble. And while painting, pondering that it would come back to get me.
The next morning I went to put on my boots. I shook them out, and there was that same spider with the white paint! Made it off the lawn, up the 6 open steps to the porch, into the cabin, and into MY boot!
Ping spider
I don’t see FireAnts on the list.
We had barking spiders in the house when I was growing up.
Dad said so.
Stewpet masthead at the site consumed 2/3rds of my screen
And people questioned whether the dingo carried off the baby. Of course it is possible.
The huntsman family of spiders are amazing. I see some in Tokyo every year that are five to six across. They really are noticeable walking around.
A possum can eat 5000 ticks in a season.
But not that one...
Putting on super high boots and gloves with your longsleeve shirt sleeves and pant legs tucked in tight with mosquito webbing and of course ALL the lights on.
I frankly am amazed humanity made it to the top, but boy when you’re at the top...EVERYTHING else is gunnin for you.
But doesn’t he just travel around the world, meeting people and beating them up?

Oh yeah.
While an AF mechanic during the second gulf war, I was once called out to change the copilot’s HSI (a navigation instrument on the flight control panel) on a C5.
The entire glass face of the instrument was shattered, with pieces of a big hairy spider embedded within.
Apparently the spider had emerged from under the control panel and scurried across the instruments. The copilot instinctively slid his seat back and put his boot through the HSI.
What a mess.
