It looked scary, so it had to die. The Wolf spiders I leave alone because I know they mean no harm, but this little bastard looked dangerous in my garage. What kind was it?

There is only one kind.... Creepy ass and dead

Brown Widow, I think. I could be wrong. I have been, before.

After looking at this, I think it may be an Orb Weaver. It appears to have spines on its legs.

I'd probly kill the shit out of it, if it was in my hut or dwelling.

Why do I open these threads??
Now it's off to get the propane tank refilled, as summer is almost here!!!

Normal and harmless garden spider, ready to lay a couple thousand eggs. Good on you for killing her dead.

Strong work.

That particular common brown house spider EATS Brown Recluses.

Not kidding.

It's one of the good guys.

best get it out of the house, if she pops thousands of micro spiders are going to run off and hide, waiting to get you...

Dammit!

Gets more creepy. Last night as I come home and prepare to open my door...I see a shadow for some reason. Bust out the trusty iPhone flashlight and BAM! This big ol' sumbitch was waiting for me.



Needless to way, I went in the side door.

Yep, spawn of the Brown Recluse and the Black Widow.

What about this guy? Should I be worried about this little guy?

^^^^ Nah, half a scorpion is no threat.

I'm with Marzy on the brown house spider...they are good ones...except they shit on everything that's under them and it's some more tenacious stuff to remove sometimes...

That's a big girl there...probably made a ton of babies (and they have been known to return to avenge their mothers death)

Best to sleep with panty hose stretched over your head for a few nights...keeps the babies out of your ears, nose and mouth...until they forget what you did to mom

Have an aerosol spray of carb cleaner at the ready.
Spray and literally watch them emulsify and die.

Not carrying a gun, eh?

"She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
— To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing."

Mrs. Mike mentioned that there was a spider at the mailbox last week....I finally meandered out there and found a Black Widow

Guess who got stabbed to DEATH by a handcuff key???

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

She hates spiders and I would burn the earth down for her...so spiders die.

JD82, that one by your door looked like a Wolf Spider to me. They're big and scary, but not much of a threat. I'd leave it alone. (Now, in the bedroom would be a different matter--I'd try to catch it and put it outside.)

FFS the storms here bother be enough and now you show me that big bastard on your door!!! I am afraid Spring Hill is going to have to burn now.

Now I know why Sherman burned everything along with he way.

I left the big Wolf spider alone. Figured he'd help with my Japanese beetle invasion, that, and I didn't have an AK on me at the time to battle him with. I don't think 9mm would have done the trick!
