I hate spiders !!

[Emmsmom]

Hun, I would have been screaming right along with you. I HATE spiders. I can handle the little ones they are easy to squash! LOL Anything bigger than a small pea and I am freaking out! I opened up my back door one day and there was a MASSIVE wolf spider hanging off the ledge. I actually started to hyperventilate!!! When I got my breath back I actually started to cry! LOL I know exactly how you feel!

I'm sorry that you are so scared of spiders. I have a black widow in a jar on my kitchen window ledge that I named Jezebel. I've had her for several weeks and was throwing a bug or two in once in a while, but she put in an egg sack and the babies recently hatched out so I'm afraid to open it for fear of letting some loose in the house. I bet you really didn't want to hear this either, did you? I'm not kidding, I really do have a black widow. She's been really, really interesting to watch! My husband put her in the jar to show to his boys group at church and we've just never gotten rid of her.

I also found one outside yesterday with a bunch of just hatched out little ones, but they got sprayed with Raid. We've found several around here this summer.

I also have a large cocoon in another jar that I'm waiting to come out. I think that it's going to be a large green moth but I'm not sure. It's been there for several weeks too. You never know what you're going to find at my house!!!

Diana, aren't black widows poisenous? Do you have a lot of them around your home? What about the dogs?

I'm not really afraid of spiders, just don't care for them on me. I don't think I know what a wolf spider is. We mostly have these tiny little black things and granddaddy long legs.

I HATE spiders - I got bit by a brown recluse as a child and still have the scar on the back of my knee from the damage that it did.

I'm terrified of spiders! When we were kids my brother used to pick them up by a leg and throw them at me! ewwww just the thought of spiders makes me cringe!

Black widows are one of the most poisonous spiders there is. We try to be real careful when we pick up stuff because they like to be underneath where it's nice and dry. We've found several around by my basement door and so we know to keep an eye out there for them. They're not aggressive so I'm not worried about Reuger getting bit. He pretty much stays where the yard is clear.

A wolf spider is usually the big spider that you see in your yard. They usually have a hole in the ground and are rather large, but not much to be afraid of.

We have Black Widows ALL over the place. They really scare me. The anti-venom is actually worse than the bite. SOme people are allergic to it. I have a mild heart condition and they scare me to death. We spray around the house all the time. Diana You are one brave woman! LOL I couldn't keep one. LOL
