Egads, a s-s-s-spider! - Page 2

No shit...some sort of new species, perhaps.

This is a bizarre coincidence/synchronicity, but I saw the biggest spider I've ever seen just today after responding to this thread earlier.
I was out in the two car garage behind my house today that's used as a storage space for boxes for my business. I was out there digging through boxes looking for something & on the side of a box right by me was the largest arachnid I've ever seen in person outside of a pet store.
It wasn't as big as some tarantulas, but it was huuuuuuge...much larger than what I would consider a very large spider. Maybe it was a tarantula, because it was a bit hairy & fuzzy. I left it alone, figuring that it probably kills lots of bugs out there.
Also, on the way back from the garage, on the stone patio was half a mouse. There's this neighborhood wild cat that roams around my backyard & that of my adjacent neighbors. Only the back half of the mouse was on my patio. The weird thing is that earlier today the cat was in the backyard in this spot where it likes to nap & I was out there smoking a cigarette & as it stretched, I would mimic it. Maybe it left half the mouse for me haha. It usually never comes very close to the house & you can't get near that cat.

You need a restraining order against that spider.

When I was 6 or 7, there was a spider much like the one Atari is describing behind my dresser in my room. I was already scared since I had watched "Aracnaphobia", and I've been terrified of them ever since.

The one I was referring to earlier was about three inches. I'm guessing with its legs, the one in the garage is about seven inches or more long. I could have squashed it with something, but then again, if that happened not to kill it, it might have jumped on me. A bite from that thing would send one to the hospital, I'm sure. I was rummaging in a box right next to it, & it never moved. A friend came by later & I went out there to show it to him & the spider was still in the same spot. Oh & the first thing my friend said was that it was the biggest one he'd ever seen.

7 inches with the legs? The one in my room was probably about 5 inches. Although it has been a long time and I try to block it out my memory.

There was a black widow on the wall outside the door to my room, and my mom called me out and scared me with it.

Scary shit...scary shit...

Yeah, he sends me threatening letters and mixtapes full of love songs.
