There are apparently a lot of misconceptions about spiders. I've never heard of the Hobo Spider ex-Texan linked in #47. The author of the link in #39 talks of people who turned in to the University many types of spiders which they thought were Brown Recluse, none of which were. Some were male Black Widow spiders which are not black but brown. Some weren't even spiders. There are some nasty things that creep, including centipedes and scorpions as well. When we drove through Texas we saw a Tarantula on the road that seemed big enough to have its own crossing. We were told also of a Chickensnake, i.e. a snake big enough to eat a chicken.

I've had 3 of them in my bedroom in one day. Duct taped the door that went outside after that.

Visit the link I supplied above - it's to http://hobospider.org. Also, hobospider.com sells traps to catch them. They have become a serious pest in the Northwest.
