(OT) I'm being hunted by a spider.

Sleep under mosquito netting.

Or a blanket.

Or under mosquito netting and a blanket at someone else's house.

This reminds me of the three-inch-wide huntsman spider that was living in my apartment for the longest time. It slept under a wall poster in the day, and came out at night, which is why I never knew it was there.

Unfortunately, after a while it took to sleeping at night and coming out in the day, and staring at me. After that, it could no longer live.

As an aside, I now know that spiders (even the brown ones) have green ichor.

Re: I'm being hunted by a spider.

There is a 4 inch long spider with all 8 legs and a brown fuzzy color in my house. I can't catch it to kill it, and it keeps coming back for more. I think it wants to kill me. I'm pretty sure, because it actually jumps at me when I try to strike it. I'm thinking about getting my paintball gun out, but the paint is new on the walls.

The Above is True, and I'm afraid of going to sleep, a little...

Do you think it's a Paragon? Psuedonatural? It is an odd color, and it is pretty fast and big. It also seems smarter than me.

So, you found your FAMILIAR!

I like spiders, just place a paper bag in a corner near the spider and leave it alone, it will find its way into it, or the bathroom, they always seem to make it to the bathroom.

You are lucky you don't live here in Southern Arizona, lots of creepy crawlies, especially scorpions and black widow spiders. Always fun to reach for that book and feel your hand brush something and when pulling away feel that certain twang as the tough black widow silk breaks.

Then of course you have to worry that you didn't hurt the spider or the web too much in case the drow under the floor take offense.

AHHHHH!! GET IT AWAY! GET IT AWAY!!!


Chris, deathly afriad of spiders, and happy that they die in the winter here in Ohio and don't get very large...

Heh, speak for yourself. I'm at least as unnerved by spiders as you are, but they definately get that large around here. I don't recall ever seeing one until we got our swimming pool (they sometimes turn up floating in it), now we get huge hairy beasties that sometimes make their way into our house. I'm not sure what breed they are, I just know they're freakin' big.
*shudder*

I can fed-ex you my cat... he'll get it for ya...

No, really... he hunts anything that moves... mice... snakes... crickets... spiders... turkeys(!) (He's never CAUGHT one of those yet, but he keeps trying), small dogs, me, you name it...

I have 3 cats that just laze around all day and do nothing. I'd rather have the spider. Especialy if he were a Paladin10/Spider 4
(Spider being a new Prc based on killing vermin).

I keep getting these Warner Brothers Cartoons running through my head now...

i'll add another "beware" if it's a brown-recluse. granted they're not fatal, but they can "F" you up if they get enough venom in you. my wife is a teacher, and one of her students (5th grade) got bit by one. he was out of school for a month.

In the dorms at the college I went to, we had these centipedes. They got up to 4 inches long, or so, and had these long, spidery legs with brown and yellow stripes, that kind of undulated as they worked their way across walls floors and sometimes cielings at warp speed.
I REALLY hated these buggers. Mainly because they would climb, but as they got bigger they became progressively worse at climbing. So I'd be sitting at my desk while one of these abominations decided to take a stroll across the cieling and -PLOP- several inches of angry, wriggling centipede would drop onto the book I was reading without warning. Ugh.

PS another bit of warning...even though Wolf Spiders are not toxic to humans, a bite form a spider that big CAN be toxic to cats, small dogs, etc. Something to keep in mind.
