    My neighbour has 4 cats one of which is more like a lion, about 2 years ago he was sitting on his sofa when he spotted this huge spider runing across the floor, the cat spots him to and gose to chase him and the spider turned went up on his back legs and went to attack the cat. yes the huge half lion cat was getting attack by the spider. the cat turned and ran off and my neighbour was right behind him. he was so big id say he'd stop traffic if he was to cross the road. now that scared me. :eek::eek:

    There was a giant house spidery thing in the house (otherwise its just a giant spidery thing) and I caught in under a pint glass. So off I wander down the stairs to the front door and walked over the other side of the garden. With a big swing I empty the contents of the glass into the bush. *wanders back to house happy*

    2 minutes later the house spider was back. The so called "flying spider from the glass" was amis. Instead the little fuqer managed to hang on to me. I sat there and saw this thing crawling up my arm towards my shouler. Hence wild dancing and screaming around the room trying to get it off. It managed to fall off and again I repeated the same feat. (wasnt going to kill him now after being a good survivor). Out to the garden, arms at full stretch and I empty the glass. There was a loud "thud" off the plant then a scuttling noise. Bastird.

    I think the thud may have been from the mouse it was carrying in its mouth! :D

    I had one massive fella in a bath recently after the house was unoccupied for about a month, Sweet Jebus he was like 5 inches in diameter I nearly died when I saw him I do think the trend is toward bigger lazier SUV type spiders. The really creep me out but we should all realise that we eat 3 spiders a year when we are asleep they creep into our mouths and get devoured.

    Sleep tight my arachnophiles. :D

    I sleep with my mouth open the whole time...jaysus....I was wondering why I kept putting on weight...:P

    Darn spiders are full of calories!! Scuttling heart attacks they are!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,378 ✭✭✭Krieg


    Im quite shocked that you people have encountered arachnids of this size. Ive never seen one more than a couple of inchs big

    I don't mind them that much. I used to keep a little fella in my room. He just appeared in the corner one day, making a web. I was about to do the deed, when I thought; "Hmm this guy could kill flys, that would so cool to watch!". So I let him be
    I never saw him kill anything but he was there for a good 6 weeks until....
    Im watching tv one night and this thing scuttles across my chest, "wtf?". Turn the lamp on and im greeted by 4/5 spider babys running about and mostly on my bed. "He" turned out to be a "she"


    The small fella's are grand but anything bigger then 3 inchs is gonna make me grab a shotgun

    I heard that Australian spiders are aggressive and can attack first with no reason somewhere..
    I'm recently back from Australia and I've seen bigger spiders here since I returned than I ever saw in Oz :(

    I've never seen a spider on steroids before, although I have seen the effects of other drugs on spiders:

    My mate has been complaining about a particularly large spider in her house. We named it Pospiden...
