Either that or they've found the world's first 16 legged spider.

Also imagine waking up to one of these climbing your walls:

You wouldn't want them caught in the act with your legs tbh.

Camel Spiders.
They are just misunderstood...

Met this fella when I was away last year, think he was a little bigger in real life. Good ol' England and it's awful weather not attracting tropical beasts

God knows what that is - it looks like a camel spider stuffed with 2 red caterpillars in its mouth~

i could never do the nest at the end but i was only around 8 or so
my older brother whos amiga it was completed it though.


back on topic, is there even any spiders in england that can kill a person?

AFAIK, none.
However, BWS are known to have been imported into the UK via Banana Crates, Cadillacs (cars) e.t.c and even so, only the Females are the dangerous one.

OMFG, I won't be able to sleep tonight now

Awesome viewing, and another one bites the dust

There were a few Black Widows imported but apparantly they died off in about a week?

I can't see how they'd survive here anyway with them being used to North/South America's climate. They'd just take one look at English weather and think "Oh no. Ohhhhhhhh no no no. Back in the box for me!".

 

[Deleted User 234324]

Don't think any native spiders to the UK are dangerous, deadliest ive come across was a black widow in africa, tiny little things but ever so deadly.

Camel spiders arent actually that big, at there biggest they have an ~5 inch leg span.

"Oh no. Ohhhhhhhh no no no. Back in the box for me!".

Now saying that in my best distressed black widow spider's voice cracked me up!!!

Would i be right in thinking black widows aren't all that fatal they just muck you up quite badly for a few days (and can be fatal)? Or are they really just murderous little beasties?

 

[benjo plz.]

that's about right.

 

[CoreRipOffDuo]

Black Widow bites can kill within 2 hours (I think) if they are not treated. Most people survive though. The bite marks can leave a nasty looking scar though. Seen many when I lived in the US.

There are no native spiders to the UK that are poisonous to a human. Same with sankes too I believe.

The adder is poisonous, only one though.
