Sorry for your loss. Spiders make wonderful pets. They are loving and affectionate and rid your house of pesky flies. And unlike cats and dogs you never see their crap on the carpet. Farewell, Spidey. :rip:

Uh... thanks for sharing?

I've a mild fear of spiders myself, but thankfully less so of one of the more common spiders around my house: the Wolf spider. There are a few funny facts about Wolf spiders.

They don't catch their prey with a web. They run them down and catch them.

Some researchers studied escape strategies of wolf spiders. They found the ones with the fastest sprint speeds were more likely to run for it if approached by danger. The slow ones would play dead in hopes of not drawing attention to itself.

Female wolf spiders carry their babies on their abdomen.

We have a spidy web over our kitchen waste can, trapping bugs on their way to our discarded food. It must feed enough, but we never see what it feeds on.

thats sad. I once had a pet mouse named alexander, and a large flying cockroach named Wilhelm. Sadly Wilhelm met his demise under a sustained spray from a Raid can I owned, while alexander died tragically young when he accidentally stepped into an Intruder mousetrap I had set in the middle of the room.
However, all is not lost. I now have three bedbugs named inky, winky, and Katamaroo, and I expect to have them until the exterminator shows up this weekend. They're nice.

He bought them for "his kid," but now that "his kid" has grown up, ripster can finally enjoy all of the toys to himself.

My son is a spoiled child.  He has always been fascinated by spiders.

The first one is from the Sydney Museum.  The Sydney Funnel-Web spiders are all over the Sydney area - nasty poisonous things.  Usually not fatal.

Everybody in America is spoiled.  Canadians are always bitter about that.

There are spoiled people in canada, it's the whiny french in quebec. The funny thing is, if they really seperated from the rest of canada, they wouldn't be leeching our oil money and would go completely bankrupt. Quebec is unique in that it's not self-sustaining and wastes unbelievable amounts of money.
At least they have IBM computers that I can buy lol.

(It used to have 8 legs)


Edit: seems to be a Hapalopus sp. Colombia

It\'s the glass pipe fallacy. You can only believe that if you\'re on crack.

I also have a mild fear of spiders that developed into a pretty bad fear of them when I moved here to Sydney. ^^ In South Africa they have spiders, but they aren't everywhere, you'll find one every so often. Here however, ever crack and corner around the house seems to have spiders. Really makes my casual job doing Window Washing in Summers suck because my boss insists that although we are "Window" washers we remove spiders and webs too and guess who is the lucky person that task always falls upon...yeup you guessed it. fml -__- I need to take a pay cut and go work in a store and be happier.
