Spider inside

ftnups · October 2009

[img]http://tinyurl.com/yebccge[/img]I went to get Matthew today and the gal who watches him showed me the spider that has been shacking up in front of their house for three months. It is GINORMOUS. And it laid or birthed or spawned or whatever this hugonic pod thing, which she thought was fascinating but I was like "Um. There are probably a thousand baby spiders in there." Seba is going to put on a ski mask tonight and go commit spider murder.

OK, so Houston has a few redeeming qualities.

First your HOA and now this? FItty we have a pull out couch here in SF. That's all I'm saying.

Spiders are just one of the many reasons that Matt and I will be spending summers in Oregon starting next year. WAHOO! We'll go up Memorial Day and go back Labor Day, and Sebastian will come up a couple times and then most of August. AND!!! Bobo and one other doggie will spend the summer up there too!

GAH!!! I physically picked my feet up off the floor and curled up into the fetal position a little bit. I hate spiders. HATE.I'm gonna have the heebs for a good long time, I think. And I'm re-thinking my desire to move down to the Austin/San Antonio area of this stateMake sure Seba gets that thing before it comes after your behbeh like that skeery scorpion!

I saw a spider almost that size yesterday while I was eating lunch. I decided not to eat lunch at that spot outside anymore.

Fascinating? No. Terrifying? Yes. KILL IT, Seba, KILL IT!!!

Eek! The good news is, it looks like a black and yellow garden spider, which are totally harmless to humans. If it is, she will be dying really really soon as they die shortly after laying their eggs.I'm no spider expert though. I only know about the black and yellow garden spider because I once found one outside my house and lost my sh*t. They are HUGE! I googled like crazy until I figured out what kind of spider it was. I HATE HATE HATE spiders, but these are actually really fascinating. Although, I think I only think that because I've learned they are more terrified of me than I am of them.

Yeah Seba said it's a garden spider and not poisonous but it would still hurt like a mother if you got bit, especially a little kid.I am all about kindness to creatures, but this lady needs to go to spider heaven.

(Although now I feel a little bad imagining the spider being all scared of me, while I'm off planning her demise.)

turtlecrawl · October 2009

lol. She's hanging out there thinking, "oh dear. oh dear. oh dear" every time you walk by.Apparently, they drop and hide when they get scared so the chances of your kiddo being bitten are very very very small. They like to hang out in their web all the time, so it's very unlikely that it would come in the house.I'm the first person to squish a spider with a shoe, but I usually let these do their thing. Plus, she's getting ready to die anyway ya big meanie!

I loaf spiders. We had banana spiders like that on all our front windows as a kid and we would use the backdoor just so we didn't disturb them.Spiders eat bugs and they don't eat me, so they're my friends. I will murder a black widow or a brown recluse in a hot second though.

ftnups · October 2009

Ha! She's all "does she see me? why is she pointing that thing at me? it's a weapon! OHGODDONTMOVE!!!" Ok, what about that pod thingy? Do I choose life for the bebeh spiders?

modb1rd · October 2009

Kill them all. Prodigal summer says it is ok

FallinAgain · October 2009

Well. Texas is officially off the list.

Irishgrl417 · October 2009

That looks FOFFING HUGE! Not cool at all. I don't consider anything that could make me scream like a little girl harmless so I wouldn't feel bad about killing them all or more likely having someone else do it.

shanollee · October 2009

Everything's bigger in Texas, including our critters

GroomzMcFinehiney · October 2009

Don't kill her Seba! I like spiders. Not in my house, but in general. We have a lot of spiders here, but none so big as that one. I will sweep the webs away from the house, but I'm not about to kill something that will keep other bugs out of my house. And Fitty, a spider that big is probably eating scorpions so you won't have to do battle.

_Fenton · October 2009

Groomz is very wise. I always tell Anthony that's why we probably don't get too many other bugs in our house; we have tons of spiders running around.

tastyburger · October 2009

I find spiders fascinating, just as long as they aren't INSIDE the house. we had a huge banana spider on our window pot and could see her from the inside of the window which was awesome because we could get close enough to watch, but weren't worried about her jumping on us or anything. plus their webs are wicked cool with the zigzag middle they do.
