Spider population boom?

[Slogan]

I was in America once. There was a spider in the kitchen.

Used to my Irish ways my first intentions were to hit it hard with something, so I did.

Its stomach burst everywhere and there were hundreds and hundreds of little spiders running about. Needless to say I sorted it with a ring of spray around the babies and then proceeded to mop up the spider mess.

1-0, me.

hopefully you mean the one in his head

Monty Python reference?

Just got back from the bathroom and there was a huge spider on the wall, I felt threatened so I had to squish it

Yep never seen anything like it, new house and im sure they are living under the decking aka acachnaphobia in the barn, loads of them, but then im also noticing a lot of flies aswell.

I'm calling shens on the spider-bursting-and-little-spiders-running about story.

Spiders lay eggs.

Some carry babies around on their backs so it might have appeared to burst...

Shens denied 'mfraid.

I had one sitting above my cellar door, scared the bejesus out of me, damn thing was nearly the size of my hand, I guess my dad doing stuff in the cellar scared it out for a stroll as it disappeared the next day

Spider population always booms in September. Don't know why.

Found one at work today.

We called it Adam.

Hmm Adam the spider... you could have least given it a monsterous beastly name like Tiger

The reason they come out at this time is the change in daylight and temp - they need to mate before the cold.

The males run about looking for a female (who usually sits on her lazy backside for years on end never moving and is a lot bigger)

Can't say there has been more than usual here...... in fact, I would say we have had a lot less spiders than any other year (as the rain/cold have prevented the flying insects from getting about - so no flys/gnats/midges - not many spiders)

We have been overun by slugs though.

yeh i seem to be finding a lot more big spiders about especially around our house, i took this the other day of one. which i thought to be quite large! saying that i saw a false widow the other week in the garden..

Heh, turn that pic on its side and it will look like a MONSTER walking on floorboards.

Great use of macro and no discernable scaling objects.

Tauren that's a really great photo! I hate spiders to death and knew there'd be at least one scary photo somewhere down the page
