Danny I love to bow hunt and about 4 years ago hiking thru mountains and dense forest I happen to walk thru one of them creatures area and 45 minutes later I felt something moving up the back of my neck . That sucker must have enjoyed the ride and the warmth from my hike . I call those spiders halloween spiders cause webs are usually perfect .

 

[dannymax]

Wow....that's creepy!

Here's what it is.... Araneus marmoreus...."not considered a 'medically important' spider", whatever the hell that means. :confused2:

But apparently is venomous.

[adambweird]

Danny I think your spider is a Pittsburgh Steeler's fan..... He's got the right colors!

I would say they are very similar, hard to tell for sure tho as my camera at the time was junk.

It won't work.....little brown buggars are in the walls in places where that gas will never, ever reach. Then, days after removing those tarps, the neighborhood browns will be free to move back in to fill the empty spaces where the gas did actually kill two or three. Spray residue does not work on spideys either, like it will for most other crawling insects after the bug man has visited.

Well ALL spiders are venomous...it just depends on HOW MUCH? A spider either a neurotoxic like venom like black widow, that after being bit, you have pain, and flu like symptoms, or like a brown recluse, that has a tissue necrotizing (flesh killing) type venom.

I brown widow (which I have in the garage) bite will cause some blisters to arise...but thats about it. Ive been bitten a couple of times.

As per the local orkin man...pesticides dont really work on spiders. A bug (insect) will clean itself like a cat, and so will ingest the poison...spiders dont do that. ALSO....the brown recluse is a lazy spider, by killing off various insects, all that your doing is giving it a free meal, that it doesnt have to hunt for.

 

[marsmax85]

If you're killing insects with poison then spider eats or drinks dead bugs shouldn't they die too ?

 

[Traumahawk]

Not really...The insect ingests the poison....but the spider doesnt really "eat" the insect. It injects it with venom, then uses digestive juices to actually liquefy the insides...the spider then kinda sucks up the meat ball.

Jeez, they really are disgusting little bastards aren't they!! uke:

I stomped one on the pool apron this summer and dozens and dozens of tiny little arachnids ran in all directions! I really did the 'Spider Mash' there for awhile!

 

[kevman]

This is the spider that just moved into my place and I haven't seen it for a couple of days and it's only as big as my hand legs and all.So there is nothing to worry about.Or is there?
