This would have scared the piss out of me!
 

My buddy found this behind his grill yesterday!!!

Attachment 366

Kinda hard to tell, since I had to size it down, but it's a big a$$ed Black Widow!!

Spiders themselves don't really scare me, but if they are bigger than a quarter, look out!

still a lot smaller than my foot...

That is SCARY!

I hear ya, but my G-pa got bit by one years ago before I was born, it almost killed him. Crawled in his bed! If it's in front of you and you see it, yeah, smash the hell out of it, but still, that's a big MF-er!

we have wolf spiders down here that make that look small--no joke, we saw one that was bigger than a dessert plate. joker was huuuuge. but yeah, it's the ones you don't see....
then there's the brown recluse.
that's what cracked me up when i watched the movie arachnaphobia, when john goodman smashed the one with his foot.

This is what he is more worried about.

She is about 8-9 years old, curious as hell, if you don't know Basenjis'

Ok, so I'm staying up North with the bears. Big enough to see and no plans to stomp on one.:D

i read a short story years ago in school about a basenji, think it was called my fair lady, nice story. beautiful dog.

well, you certainly don't have to worry about a bear hiding in a shoe, or under the covers of your bed!

We have the brown recluse as well. They are deadly! Wolf spiders are really scary looking too!

They are an absoulute trip. Smart as all get out, stuborn as hell. Fast as lightning.

Black widows are all over the place down here... I got used to seeing them in the barn and very lucky I didn't get nailed by one. :eek:

I've seen these at the barn a few times too:

one of the sale yearlings That I usd to take care of got bitten by a brown recluse a couple years ago...he nearly had to be put down...it bit his fetlock....totally disgusting to watch his leg rot away...but he pulled through, we nicknamed him spiderman:) ...

Hey... great punchline.

I don't think anyone was expecting that.








( Yow)

godd morning to you too morte'....who left the cage door open for you to get out?

Thank you...spiffy seeing you as well.



Just remember this funny lady...


...I don't not chew my prey.






I merely kill it and move on.







=;>

you have to catch it before you can kill it.

I am erudite in my stalking.




My prey never knows I'm there.

And then before it knows....





....SPSSSSSS!

I strike like the viper.

Ohh what a sweet couple you two make...:D

I don't think I got enough sleep last night for this.
