| So I just picked up a hoodie off my bedroom floor and a pretty sizeable daddy long legs spider came flying off it and landed on my bed. I back handed that eight legged monster off my bed and then smashed her head into the floor with the bottom of a mug. But that got me to thinking. I'm glad I live in the UK where the worst spiders we get are the wolf spider and the huntsman spider I would hate to have found something like a tarantula crawling around my clothes. So anyway, what are the worst spiders you have in your country? Ever have any bad experiences with them? Are you one of those weirdos who actually likes spiders? Feel free to post your nasty spider pics to gross out the arachnophobes. |

| Living in Norway is great, because the biggest spiders are the size of raisins. I'm not scared of them, but I get really annoyed when they're inside the house, and I dispose of them as quickly as I can. I'm kinda fascinated by them, and I like them when they're outside, but when they have the nerve to trespass on my territory, they're gonna get fucked up. |
| living in malaysia, there's almost no spiders here. there's only ones that are suuuuper small, probably the size of a house fly. unfortunately, we have gross ass lizards instead |
  |
| Here in my area we get tarantula's. Though I don't see them that often thankfully. For bad experiences... One time on the 4th of July a tarantula would've crawled on my leg if someone didn't point it out. And when we first moved into our house several years ago, a Black-Widow crawled out of this metal covering below the faucet of our bathtub while I was taking a bath. |
 |
It's just a shame spiders don't look like they do in anime. |
|
| What did that spider do to you? You shouldn't have killed that spider. Not cool :( |
| I hate living things, so I keep my living environment extremely sterile. Not really a problem. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
swirlydragon said: What did that spider do to you? You shouldn't have killed that spider. Not cool :( It was in my room, and that's my territory. If I go into a wild animals territory I expect to get attacked, so I think it's entirely justified for me to squash any bugs that come into my house. |
|
| I'm honestly one of those 'weirdos' who actually LOOOVE spiders. FITE ME! |

| The largest ones I've come across were daddy long legs, I'm fine with them as long as they stay the hell away from my bed and bathtub. The way they move is a bit off-putting though, looks kinda creepy. |
 |
| Live in the southeast us and probably the scariest spider experience was seeing a black widow crawl next to my hand while working on the sprinkler system... it's like staring pain or even death in the face yaknow, spoopy |

| So anyway, what are the worst spiders you have in your country? Black widow and wolf spider, most likely. Ever have any bad experiences with them? No, they are not commonly seen. Not to mention Yaoi and outside do not mix. Are you one of those weirdos who actually likes spiders? Yes, I find them to be cute. Particularly the smaller ones. |

| I like spiders. But then, that might be due to me having grown up on Spider-Man. |
| I hate them, they make my skin crawl when I see one. Luckily the spiders here aren't too big though. |
| Funnily enough I had a dream this morning I almost walked into a golden orb's web with him in there but either way, I live in Australia so we don't really have any bad spiders, though I'll always stomp on a white tip or a redback any day of the week. |
 |
| Did you know, aside from the spider's unpredictable movements, we're also afraid of spiders because they were a big threat to our ancestors? |
| Never seen any big or poisonous spiders here. I saw a spider just hanging out in my bathroom the other day, but I leave it alone since it always stays in the same spot and spiders are good for keeping other bugs away. |
 |
| Not sure which are the worst spiders in my country but house spiders already get me freaked out so I really don't want to find out about the more big and dangerous ones. I'm scared of all insects but house spiders are 'relatively' slow compared to some other stuff i've seen, so they're easier to kill. On the days when i'm less courageous, I just run the other way. I'll pretend they don't exist if I can't see them. |
| Damn, Tomoko. You showed that spider who's boss. Better hope her babies don't want vengeance. ;) I usually see spiders outside my house sitting in their webs and I occasionally poke around, and irritate the spiders. They are usually small and harmless, I think. The webs are so annoying though, I get caught in them everywhere I go. I guess that's how they get me back for being an asshole to them. |

I thought Australia has the worst kinds of Spider: big, full of deadly venom and horrifying. The spiders here in germany are relatively small :) I used to collect them with a friend back when were little. The jumping spiders are particularly cute how they move their heads and such :] That said if I find one of these in my room, then I show no mercy :/ out or put them in my sisters room lol |
VeigarIII said: It's just a myth, you hardly ever see a big spider and are normally impressed when you do, I've seen a few wolf spiders around the place and in my old house we'd have pretty frequent huntsmans in our house so we'd just leave them around the place to do bug control. But honestly we don't really see too many big spiders, majority of them were no bigger than the palm of my hand. Don't get me wrong there's big spiders, but in australia it's pretty dry n shit, so you don't really get as big spiders as you would in QLD of australia up near the tropical areas.Turnip said: Funnily enough I had a dream this morning I almost walked into a golden orb's web with him in there but either way, I live in Australia so we don't really have any bad spiders, though I'll always stomp on a white tip or a redback any day of the week.

I can't remember the last time I killed a spider that wasn't a redback. |

| most of the spiders i've seen in my city are pretty tame, but i heard there are black widows in California never seen one personally tho also fuck spiders |

I see :D Thats a reassuring to hear, I guess I can put Australia back on my holiday list xD |
| Wolf spiders are often in the bathroom during a rainstorm, but they aren't the large ones they're small, but the garden spiders are huge and live in the trees save for the evergreen trees. |
 |
| i live in the US, and the worst my state has is the black widow. i personally have not seen one. |
 |
| Brown Recluses live all over where I am. They rot your skin smh I like most spiders but the line is drawn with that ish |
| I don't have a problem with spiders. I always check under my sun visor before I drive anywhere though because the Huntsman spiders we have here are really good at contorting their body through car doors, and if they drop down on you while you're on the highway or something you'll probably shit yourself and crash. schpoiders. |
| Not many spiders around here, lots of cockroaches though, I hated them as a child, but when we moved out of the house and got a room for myself alone, every time I woke up at night there would always be cockroaches in the floor, so I started to step on them and lost the fear. |

| I'm scared of insects to begin with, so the thought of seeing a spider (harmless or not) terrifies me ;_; |
 "Only one with the courage to shoulder the burden of their own fate can be called a hero.." |
| I don't like spiders. The biggest one in Poland is Bagnik nadwodny (Dolomedes plantarius): So it's not that bad. I met this one only once. It's not the ugliest one, but size made me really uncomfortable. I was with my grandma at that time and she fucking caressed this thing. Apparently its fur is nice and soft. I'd say spiders are interesting or maybe even fascinating. I envy people who like them or at least aren't turned off by their looks. |
| Spiders are literally crazy dude. Lol we get our fair share where I live, I had an experience with a rather large one in my shower a while back, oh my lord I straight leapt across the bathroom. Jumped the fuck out of my skin lol. Pretty sure it was a brown recluse. |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
| Idk what's the biggest here, the biggest I've found (as in taken a photo and all) was this one: |
 |
| I used to let daddy long legs walk on my hand as a kid. They are harmless and not at all scary. I find them cute along with those little ity bitty tiny green or white ones. Wait you have wolf spiders too? Fuck I thought I could escape them there. Those fuckers run fast and a few times ran for me. As far as deadly spiders there is brown recluse and black widows. I once saw a massive spider the body size of a golf ball on my lawn but Im not sure if it was real or if i hallucinated it because it seemed like it disappeared and I couldnt identify it with any spiders in my area. I stopped killing bugs a few years ago. I capture them with a cup or a vase and cardboard to slide under it. I even catch hornets that way. |

| I haven't seen any dangerous spider in my country yet. I'm not even scared of spiders. I don't have that much against spiders but I don't like it if I see spiders in my room. |
 I will not believe that everything is controlled by fate. ll X ll |
| I dont know ,somehow I opened this thread and thought of these: https://myanimelist.net/character/4808/Tachikoma?q=tach |
| Brown Recluse. Terrifying just even thinking of those things. |

| Terrified of spiders. Just moved recently and there are more spiders here then in my old apartment :( I spray my apartment to keep the spiders away.

Maybe it's mostly Midt- and Nord-Norge that is blessed with the absence of big spiders, because it's too cold for the southern ones to thrive or something. I'm sorry to hear about your spider problem. >.< |

| I have squished a tarantula, recluse and a couple of scorpions in my house... scary stuff! |
| here we're safe btw everybody in Australia how are you still alive my worst memory: i hadn't worn my coat for a few weeks and when i wore it again everything was okay untill i was in school and someone screamed (while in class) there were spiders on me and i removed them and when i put my coat back on 2 big spider crawled out of my sleeve and I scream like a 4 year old girl but higher pitched |
