[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Huge Spider!!!!(For Colorado at least) What kind is it? (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 10/30/2009 6:43:12 PM EDT

I have never seen a spider this big in northern Colorado. It got itself trapped in an open rubber made container in my garage. I let it go in a field across the street. It did not act aggressive at all but it is winter after all so it may have been freezing to death? Tooth brush to gage size.....it's all I had at the time.

Large wolf spider? Where you at, we have them up here too.

Looks like some kind of wolf spider to me too. They tend to start heading indoors when the weather cools down.

I think you're right. Those things have long ass spider legs. ***shudder*** I used to have them all over my back patio. I'm in Jupiter.

How bad is their bite?

Not bad, some say they're venomous, some say not. Don't really want to find out. Not usually aggressive. You're just 45 miles south of me.

YOU LET IT LIVE????? ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!

(sorry, knee jerk reaction)

I was bit on the back of my neck by a Brown Recluse when I was a kid. Sicker than a dog for two weeks.

Ever since then I've been rougher on spiders than Garfield.

The only good spider is a dead spider. Preferably fried with WD-40 and a Zippo.

Spiders are by far one of my least favorite things, for some reason they just bug the hell out of me.

You should have smashed it all to hell.

Umm... good spider? Eating all of those annoying insects type of spider?

If it's not a recluse or black widow, I let them live.
If there's a spider hanging out, there's probably spider food around.
I generally dislike spider food, and spiders are pretty effective at turning spider food into spiders.
When spider food gets scarce, so do spiders.

It works out pretty well

It will irritate the skin, maybe make you a little sick, but won't kill you. I have them all over my basement here in Utah.

No idea. But I know what will kill it. Fire. No need to thank. Its what I do.

Wolf and these sons a bitches will try to fight. You get one in the 3"+ range and it will take the attack stance when you go to step on it.

Kill it!

Jamaican Wolf Multi-legged Zombie Spider. Can't be killed because they're already un-dead. Leave it alone and it won't attack. If you develop a craving for BRAINZ, it's too late.

Sorry.

For every spider the solution is a can of hair spray and a lighter.

Spider in the house = Dead Spider.

That's just a wolf spider looking for a warm place to hang out. They look creepy, but they're pretty much harmless. Leave 'em be and you'll have less winged insects around your house.

I have a bunch of those at my house. Not usually that big but close. I try to leave them alone because they hunt and kill all the other nasty spiders and bugs, but that one is big. Found a nice little black widow with a perfect little red hourglass on its ass in the house the other day. It had a fairly large pile of dead spiders underneath it. Gassed it and I feel safer.

Posted: 10/30/2009 10:08:52 PM EDT

Black widows abound in my area.

Had one drop out of a kitchen cabinet last spring.

Demolished an old shed in the back yard, there was one in there with an ass the size of a grape.

Fucking horrifying little beasties.

wolf spiders are not poisonous to humans and are relatively harmless.

While i would not let one crawl on my arm like some people do, they will not hurt you any worse than an ant bite usually.

The above statement of course excludes 3 inch wolf spiders, but i think a 3 inch fireant would probably fuck you up pretty good to if you got bitten by one.

it's a butt spider.

+1. But I would also burn my house down too.......just to make sure

I fucking HATE spiders.

I don't give a shit what they do for the environment. I don't care how they keep other bug populations "in check". I don't care that "they are more scared of you, than you are of it" (which I don't even buy anyway).

Kill 'em all.

Pffffttt. That's a baby. Trying smashing one the size of your hand with a magazine, and having it leap off the wall and chase you across the room.

Not aggressive, my ass.
