Ewwwww!!!! Still, I think the spider is creepier... Is that a word?
*shudder*
eh Ive seen bigger spiders in southern china
Really Anon? That's a scary thought. We were just in Vietnam, and I didn't see any! TG! Actually there were very few bugs.. lots of bats.
Turns out it was just a Yellow Garden Spiker... body - 1" diameter...
This time of year is "Spider Season" here in Northern Virginia. But we have nothing quite so exotic, just a lot of cobwebs.
Banana spiders are harmless. We have tons of them here in the spring and early summer. They hang out of the trees and I've had them in my hair when I didn't see them while mowing the lawn under a tree. I hate that and it freaks me out even though I know they're harmless. LOL! They are very good at keeping the mosquitoes and flies down to a dull roar.
Hi AOW, You're lucky... We have some really creepy stuff down here. I remember last year seeing a horrible flying thing that looked like a giant wasp. Turns out it too is harmless...
Hi Gayle, That would totally freak me out!!! Just thinking about it makes my skin crawl... I guess I wouldn't fair so well in the country:>D
Oh, good lawrd, I HATE SPIDERS!
I can't even look at that! ACK!!!
spiders sometimes scare me (especially the ones with leg spans the size of a coffee mug), but i love the heck out of them. i don't even (usually) kill them when i find them in my house. they help keep the annoying bugs away. and they have no interest in you whatsoever.
HI Anon, I agree totally with you. The little ones I don't mind. I prefer geico's though for in-house bug killing:>D
