There was a huge one here last week that was SO FAST, I’ve never seen anything like it. I caught the bigger in a glass and it was going crazy, running backwards and forwards bouncing off the edges. Ugh. I try not to kill them these days, take them way down to the end of the garden and fling tae *******.

I never kill spiders....we actually have a "pet" one called Boris.....he's huge, I can hear him walking on the walls if he makes an appearance....I think he is related to Aragog.....my son loves him because he is so massive. I hate flies far more than spiders so the odd one in the house is a welcome house guest

We have always had spider house guests.
Mammy spider has her babies underneath my bedside cabinet. I see the little ones venturing up the walls now and then but they don’t go far. Mammy..or daddy spider pokes it’s legs out from under the cabinet when I go to bed. I simply say goodnight, leave me alone and you and your family are safe.:laugh |

I mean realistically it’s not is it… …however they do basically stop us (humans) from being pretty much wiped out by other bugs so I’ve come to accept that they have a purpose and they can continue to do that. But not in my house. So they get a glass over them, cardboard slid underneath, then yeeted across the garden as far as I can from the door. |

I'm convinced I've had a spider bite before as well. Was at the park with the kids, came home and my leg was really itchy, rolled up my trouser leg and there was a little purple patch with two dots in the middle. Half an hour later it was a much larger patch and a bit like a swollen lump and literally the itchiest thing I've ever experienced. Woke in the night with my entire lower leg feeling like it was hot/burning . It was OK by morning though, back to just the really itchy patch, then that faded to nothing within a couple of days.
Google Images of spider bites look a lot like it though. Yuck. Luckily my skin didn't all fall off like some of the pictures . |
