I think that's amazing.

...but then again I like spiders.

...but then again if I were wrapped in that thing I would cry.

Yes!

I'm scared of any spider or insect bigger than this •
It annoys me that I am.

I love spiders.

For the most part, they really do not fuck with humans. They take out other bugs.

LOOK at all of the mosquitos that huge ass web caught. You gotta love them for that.

Same for me, but without the insect part, just spiders, and without the annoying part. I don't know why I clicked that link I think I'm gonna go curl up in a ball and cry

10 feet? Not likely...

10+ Inches however...

Apparantly, the Chicken Spider hunts in a pack and keeps a frog as a pet. Interesting.

ALL HAIL OUR NEW SPIDER LORDS. WOE UNTO THE FLIES, FOR HUMANS HAVE FALLEN AND SO SHALL YOU.

No. Being that frog is my worst nightmare.

We also discovered that those spiders appeared to be keeping a pet. There was a little frog that lived down in the hole with the spiders. It may offer some sort of service to spiders, like sweeping up ants that might bother the spiders.

Heh, last I heard, Camel Spiders are even larger than that.

I have arachnophobia to say the least; though it isn't to the point where I would flee in terror; well, I probably would at first, but only until I found something to kill it with. I'm at least willing to get close enough to kill the bastards.

I used to have a pet tarantula. I'm quite fond of spiders tbh.

I don't know if Camel Spiders are technically considered spiders. I though I read somewhere that they aren't. But I can't remember where. I know that they have an alternate name called wind scorpion, based on how fast they can run.

The link is to a bird eater. Those spiders are badass and creepy as shit. The vid is of one eating a mouse.

Well, if I had a gun that would be better, but my arachnophobia isn't...strong enough to make me totally flee.

Camel Spiders aren't technically spiders, but they still scare the fuck out of me. I'll get close enough to kill some of the smaller ones, but there's a certain size where I'll need a gun to kill them because I'm not getting close enough otherwise. Anyone living with me can have a spider, I won't mind, but the only catch is that I get a shotgun, and if it comes too close to me, I'm shooting it. So far no one's taken me up on the offer.
