yeah a few times in my life. once on the hand, bruised up pretty good. But whatever. bees are gross though. wasps are anyway, got stung in the face as a kid, kinda makes me hate all small flying things.

don't kill it - bad karma. those spiders stay put that is why it is holed up in its web. Just chuck a fly at it every now and then and you will have the cheapest pet you could want.
Hey Gumby, how big is that wolf spider with all the babies?

I'm guessing the legspan was between 1.5-2 inches. A decent sized spider for these parts.

Fuck. Spiders creep the hell out of me. Now, I'm living in the high desert....Tarantulas. They're fuckin' everywhere now. I had one on my bed the other night...CRAWLING UP MY LEG!
I literally screamed like a girl and threw the covers off me. Worst damn feeling ever.

house spiders are generaly cobweb builders, one type of funnel web weaver is a grass spider, they look nothing like the pics though
I believe his is an agelenopsis

I suppose as long as it isn't burrowing down into the nice moist bathroom on the other side of that wall I'm okay with it. We did mess with the web a bit hoping it might just leave but if it rebuilds I guess we'll just leave it and think of it your way, it has been an interesting pet so far... Too bad I'll never pet it.
I think the people upstairs might kill it soon anyways, they have a kid and they mentioned having somebody kill it when we showed it to them.
I couldn't live with that L2C! Even a tiny spider in my bed would scare the shit out of me, I'm lucky to never have had that experience. Once I had a wolf spider runnning circles around the couch across from me while I slept last night. I woke up trying to detect this faint movement but it took me like 5 minutes of it doing these circles around the couch (I wonder why? Up the back of the couch and then over the cushions and under it over and over.) to figure out it really was a huge spider! I ran into my room but for days I knew this spider was lurking until finally I caught it in the kitchen 2 days later and it met my foot. It even took two stomps because I think it flattened itself the second time I had to twist my foot and it's body wasn't even torn up at all! Spidercules.

I have the pleasure of living in a state that has both Black widows and Brown recluse. The brown recluse like it a little dry. That's why they like to hide in closets and attics. They are all over the place here. I bet I could find 5 in 15 mins or less here in my own home. They are aggresive when cornered. I wouldn't want to hold one. Black widows are fairly rare and pretty docile. I've picked them up with my hands to relocate them before. They like to find moist shady places outside and hang there. One time a friend brought me a huge B. widow with an egg sack the size of a quarter. The eggs hatched before I got them into a proper container. I had thousands of baby black widows exscape into the house. I wasn't worried about them at all. I knew the brown recluse would eat them in a few days.

Damn, that sounds wild. You actually pick up deadly poisonous spiders and are calm about it?

I've been getting bit a lot recently. I think they're under/inside of my bed. We have been known to have brown recluses here, but I think they're just young wolf spiders getting me...they have the stripe down the back as opposed to the hour glass/violin.
I came to the conclusion I shouldn't kill all spider based upon the spiders' actions of the past, they are all totally different species...yet it's so easy to kill them all.

I'd kill that mutha fucka or make it fight another spider. I know there's a few spiders in BC that we should definitely watch out for.
My dog kills spiders. Squashes them with his paws mang. I saw him fuckin around with a big brown spider once and it turned out that they can kill. At least that's what some self proclaimed spider expert said. I know some spiders can mess you up so I wouldn't take chances with that guy. I'm not able to id him from that pic, but I'm sure you could drag something off of google like everyone else. Yikes.

Spider fights are awesome. I see them all the time in autumn. They start patting their abdomens against the floor, their front legs go up then they start to wrestle.
They usually end up rolling about trying to bite each other.
