An average of 1.2kg of spiders are consumed over a lifetime , regular visitors to the carribean though increase that to 3.kg. Spraying lynx africa gets the tourist down to 2.4kg if done regularly.

I have no idea if you were being serious or not but anyway, no we don't, unless you eat them as part of your diet.
It's a myth that we consume spiders unknowingly.

I did hear of an old lady who swallowed a fly. She'll probably die.

A lesson for us all there.

They should definitely not be in this thread so should be fine!

Could add spoilers to it.

No way. Don’t enter a thread called Tarantulas if you don’t want to see pics of said arachnids.

No one else to blame but yourself if you’re curiousity causes you to suffer an arachnophobic breakdown

Will get some fresh pics of my big spider later. Problem is she's sitting right in front of her enclosure door and isn't too keen on a camera in her face

She's the same breed and size of the spider in this video.
