Have you ever seen a giant spider in person?
    #18782265 - 08/31/13 06:03 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

The biggest spider I've ever seen was about the size of a bottle cap. Is it true there are giant spiders in certain parts of the United States? Have you ever seen one?

Yes they have Cane spiders here that get twice the size of your hands, but don't bite. Also, King  spiders the size of our hand, they do bite.

That's probably the largets I've seen.. Well that kind, I've seen quite a few of them in my life (not my own pic, I damn sure wouldn't pick one up). Called Golden Orb Weavers. Live in TX for the record.

@Shroomslip, I know better than to browse this thread without disabling images.


Is there some sort of repellent one can use to keep spiders like this away when camping?

:lol: I didn't think to put it in spoiler or anything. Did it now just in case. If someone can't figure out what's behind the spoiler that's their fault <.<

My friend and I came back from a party all drunk last night and had nothing to do so we took his tarantula out and played with it. Don't know if that counts:jedi:

Yeah spiders turn me into a pussy. I have a big leonotis nepetifolia (klip dagga) plant outside that's like 5 feet tall. I was trying to harvest some of the flowers off of it earlier and went to grab some and a tiny ass little white spider came crawling out and scared the shit out of me. I really want those flowers but I haven't come up with a way to get them yet without facing that little spider. :lol:

I thought about gloves but what if it crawls up my arm?! :ohgodpleaseno:

Are spiders the creature that creeps most of you out the most??


If I had to pick one it'd have to be cockroaches. And a lot of that has to do with knowing that for every one I see there's a hundred I don't :paranoid: Yuck.
Most other roaches don't bother me nearly as much.

Silverfish are pretty gross to me too. And millipedes.


I'm not too bad with spiders, though.

When I was like 7 or something I was walking in the woods with my mom, I started walking in this patch of like rocks and stuff and fell down. So I look down and I see a wolf spider crawl into my shorts, I screamed like a little bitch and ever since then I've been
