Michele 1 #1 September 15, 2005 Outside my back door lives a really big spider. I haven't killed it, because I know it's "good" for the environment. But it's really big, ugly, and I know it wants to move into the house. I think it's more venemous than a black widow, able to leap 10 feet and teleport through windows and walls, and is drooling for me or the cats. OTOH, it might be a regular house spider with an overactive appetite. I've attached two photos for you all to understand the breadth of my dilemma...note it's web...gigantic. I just know it's going to spin a web ON my back door one day, and I'll walk right into it, and utterly freak out. Enjoy, if you can...and if you can't, realize at least you're not living with that right outside your door.

Lindsey 0 #4 September 15, 2005 I had a huge wolf spider that lived in my house for a very long time....until one night he tucked himself into the shirt I planned to wear the next day. He died. Hope your spider keeps better boundaries.-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

2fat2fly 0 #5 September 15, 2005 Aren't orbweavers the ones that start near a house and hatch thousands of eggs and the baby spiders automatically migrate in to the persons bed at 2 am? I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. I really appreciate the information. Dammit. I won't sleep for weeks now. SwedishCelt, an orbweaver? Harmless? I think not; it's a spider!! As long as it remains outside, I can avoid it until it makes a web on my door...that's the boundary. the thing literally gives me shivers and crawly spine.
