Will this do?

Not strictly house spiders in the true sense of the word, but they DO live in my house

(For anyone who is interested they are Chilobrachys fimbriatus tarantulas. I was mating them the other day).

Sub concious telling you you're eating too much?

I hate spiders, irrational I know. But even more irrational, why oh why do I come into threads like these to be scared witless by the photos peope post!!!

I went into the garage the other day to get something out of the freezer we have in there, walked straight into a spiders web with a spider in the centre of it - I'm surprised my shrieks didn't break any panes of glass (shuddering again just thinking about it again)

I think that's cheating, though i do have a nice 9" legspan geniculata living in my room upstairs

*throws a spider towards Neon and runs*

We never really have spiders at my house, which is a good thing

We did have one last week for the first time in a year or two, ugly blighter! I let it out in our front garden. I'm lieing on the floor right now and I keep getting twitches after looking at this thread *looks around* :eek:

We get quite a few of those big house spiders at ours (are they called Wolf Spiders?). The biggest i have caught so far wouldn't fit it's legs under a pint class when i tried to trap it, had to use a shoe box. It was under a plastic bag in the bedroom and was scratching away that loudly our lass thought it was a mouse!

I'll take a piccy of the next one i catch.

I ground one into the carpet last night (it was in my hair? :eek:

) though I doubt it's very photo genic at the moment

If i find the spider i lost the other day (who shall be named 'Sam Fisher') i'll be sure to take a pic of it, from at least 3 feet away

maybe even a follow-up pic with the Cilit Bang
