Thread about spiders (not for the arachnophobic!)

1980's? They banged loads of B movies out. Killer ants, killer bees etc. Razorback was a particularly bad fave of mine :)
 
It's a brilliantly bad film. :cool:

there's alot to like tho'.
- the government agents defer to the Man Of Science
- his daughter is an academic specialist and a looker to boot. my kind of woman
- the FBI guy is assumed to be a whiz kid

on each point cf the US in 2019. i know the Man Of Science was a stereotype built at the beginning of the space age, but i like that stereotype.
 
I cycled off in a hurry yesterday, got about 1 mile before a junction meant I slowed down; looked at my handlebars and noticed a spider dangling from them, brown, body about 5mm long.
Was next to a green space with trees at this point so pulled over.
The spider rushed back up the thread to sit on the handlebar grip again. I got it onto a leaf and put it on the grass....
I hope it’s done ok in the new location!
 
I share my driveway with my neighbour and have to park right up against a hedge, so I regularly find spiders crawling around my car. Luckily they're small enough not to bother me too much. So far. I have one living in each wing mirror too. Quite sweet having little travelling companions.
 
The bunch of trainees we had in last week really didn't like spiders... "Miss, Miss, there's a spider, can you get rid of it?" - we were planning to prank them on their last day, I found a newspaper article about a false widow infestation in London, and someone else ordered some trick rubber spiders - we were going to leave the newspaper lying around and put the fake spiders in the corner of the room we were going to send them in to paint :D :D But alas the spiders didn't arrive in time :(
 
Md daddlylonglegs / harvestman - not sure which, failed to use the bog roll escape ladder and drownded in some water left in the bath :(

Got this beauty at a pet shop t'other day.
It's hair looks oddly neat - does it have a miniature hairbrush?

Saw this lovely thing in the Guardian today - an ant-mimicking crab spider. :)

I have ceiling spiders! :cool: Just a couple of teensy little ones but there were no spiders at all here last year (other than that lazy useless twat in the bathroom that never ate any silverfish) so I'm happy to see them.

Also found this MASSIVE fucker in the shed yesterday - couldn't get a better picture but that pot's about knee high for scale
