Looks like a square with a red x in it ?

Scary! I hope they aren't like those aggressive one's that latch onto people and won't let go.

For instance, there's a hundred of them living under your bed, right now, and they've never once bothered you.












Sleep tight tonight.

Can I at least hope they will keep the mice, rat, and snake population in my home under control?

Many little spies with dark glittering eyes, watching you as you sleep.


Sweet dreams.

....and the only name it had was "Holy crap that's a hu....ARRRGH!!!"

rather than just some camper who saw it and thought "wow that's a big spider".

Also they need to be able to report back rather than simply succumbing to madness and despair as this agent of the Elder Gods . . . .ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn . . . ahem sorry about that.

All that was left after Mr. Spider had some lunch.

That will give me nightmares.

Mine eats lizards and birds... LOL

I'm not living on the same planet as that thing...

Go demonstrate our superiority on the evolutionary ladder

The photo in the OP has the spider in the foreground to make it appear larger, which is not really necessary for this species. A similar illusion is used to make this Camel "Spider" appear larger:

He asked if anything other than appetizers are being offered.

to make his leg shake.

Health Bar.... some old farts won't get it.

The coconut crab:

Looks like something straight out of a horror movie

for the reminder. That dragon-looking gecko is rather satanic, and I love the defensive strategy of those fishhook ants...

they also produce bath salts.

I'll never be the same again. wahhhhhhh ............

That thing is terrifying. I have a pretty severe arachnophobia, so thanks for the horrible nightmares and no sleep FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!

Unlike some people, I know where my phobia stems from. When I was around 4 or 5, I found a white thing attached to the corner of some beams on our porch. Not knowing what it was and being the curious sort, I poked it with my finger. To my surprise it moved a little, so brilliant little me, I poke it again...harder. The white thing tears and out pour what I remember being hundreds of thousands of little eight legged horrors that immediate began crawling up my hand. Panic set in and I froze (apprently, my flight mechanism is crippled in some way). The beasties contiued to swarm over my hand, up my arm, onto my shoulder, neck, crawled into my ears, my hair. I have no idea how long I was paralyzed in fear before my mom realized that a silent toddler must be getting into trouble and came to my rescue brushing the spiders off me.

Since then, I have acute phobia of spiders. I literally paralyze and if they get to close I've been known to paralyze so badly I'll stop breathing and pass out.

But I want to spray them.

Good lord!!! (choke!).... poor DEVIL!

BUT... y'wanna see somethin' REALLY scary?

Quite Kafkaesque...


Yeah I'm a lit nerd, sue me!
