But atleast the Camel Spiders aren't venomous (Unless it's the Indian ones, apparently those ones are poisonous) Blue spider? Bad....and likely incredibly venomous. So, yeah, you're fucked if it gets you.FalloutJack said:Oh fab, it's BIGGER than a Camel Spider then. And Camel Spiders are a violent species, by the way.Berethond said:http://forthepubliceye.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/camel-spider.jpgFalloutJack said:My everloving god. Football sized? That big, it must be a killer. Venom from something like that would be terrible. The entomologist in me would only study it after it's dead. Sorry, but my mother is an arachnophobe and I firmly believe that any critter inside the house I don't like belongs outside, and dead. I once saw a big spider that looked like it had a Confederate flag on its back...probably deadly. And you want me to curb the instinct to kill something about the size of a Camel Spider? No thanks!
Someone get me a Camel Spider picture so I can illustrate the point.
Also Camel Spiders are only about 5 inches wide. That's already huge for a spider. Now imagine one twice that size.
I would kill it and then give it away for science.
what if you miss...CJ1145 said:I would kill it. With a hand grenade. I am not joking, that is the level of overkill I am willing to go to to make sure that spider is dead as dead can be.
Sounds like and average day in Australia.interspark said:so imagine, you're sitting at home, minding your own business, when suddenly you notice, on the wall there is a spider like none you've ever seen, it's bright blue, has long, spindly legs and is the size of a football. do you-
A- KILL THE SUNNOVABITCH!!!
B- get the hell out of there via the nearest door/window/newly created hole in the nearest wall
C- catch it! fame and fortune here i come!
i used to be an arachnaphobic and i think i still am on some level, i think this is the kind of experience that will have me soiling myself and running, in fact i don't even think i'd hesitate to jump out of or even through the window if it were nearest, at least then i'll leave people laughing if i bounce off it and get bitten and killed
a swatter? umad? a shovel maybe...pearcinator said:Wheres the 4th poll option of leave it alone?
Seriously ppl scared of spiders, they dont do anything unless you piss them off. Spraying them is freaky cos then they freak out and go crazy for a couple minutes while they die painfully.
So either kill it with a swatter, catch it (if ur not afraid of it spontaniously running away) or leave it alone...legging it wont do anything.
