I'm a proper twat Billy, I throw bluebottles and any other annoying flying ****s into their webs but it is amazing the way they cocoon them. Hoyed the odd beetle in there as well but only Ringo moaned about it haha.. Cracking thread mate..
I was fascinated one time when I watched a spider wrap this wasp up in my shed. It sucked the life out of it man, amazing.
A spider viewed in close up has to be the most freakishly hideous creature imaginable. Even the tiny ones resemble the most evil beasts from the fiery pits of Hades, with the hair, and the eyes, and the legs, and the fangs. I'm not too good with insects (and Arachnids for the pedants), my secret shame. Not so secret now.
Should come down to Oz Billy Millions of the ****ers here, and most of them can kill you. Huntsman's; while not being venomous to humans - can scare the **** out of you, waking up in the middle of the night to a hand sized ****er running across your bed. Or Wolf Spiders biting you aswell, leaves a nasty wound (had that before). Redback spiders are everywhere, they love setting up in your shoes, and Sydney Funnel webs when I lived there would live in your ****ing pool... bastards could breathe underwater! I don't mind some spiders, I have a few in my house that I leave alone - I am a merciful god. haha. But they keep the crickets, flies, mossies in check, so its mutually beneficial. But as soon as the big bastards come out that's when i draw the line and they have to go!

When I get the laptop fired up tomorrow I'll add a picture to this thread of a tube wen spiders web in my garden last year. Amazing piece of work that'll have you purring. Billy
Is that an invite then, lol. Seriously, if I had to choose an animal I had to be I'd pick a grizzly bear. They have the perfect lives those ****ers. I mean let's face it, when it gets cold they go to sleep for three months. When they wake up they catch the salmon run & just eat & shag. And all those summer berries they eat ferment in their bellies & get them pissed. ****ing canny gig if you ask me.
Aye, can't remember what I was doing, either press ups or sit ups but I was prone anyway, looked over to my right and one was just ducking staring at me. I know that as I could see light reflecting in it's eyes it was that big. Never moved so fast in my life. They're fast as well. Sure I was told they can run upto summit ridiculous like 30 mph, although tbf never saw one do that myself.
just **** that there would be a load of kick off if a guy got mauled by a bear and people would be talking about culs and killing bears off, but some fat, illiterate, redneck yank bastard can go out and kill an amazing creature for sport. its not even like they are doing it for food, that i could understand.
I used to hunt rabbits with the lurchers. Every one that we killed was eaten, used to give them away down the local on a Sunday afternoon.
me and my brother used to shoot them with an air rifle when we were kids, but we took them home and mum made rabbit stew. those ****ers are just doing it for tropheys. ****ing sickening what some humans can do to nature. these creatures should be cherished and reviered so they are still around for future generations
A house spider 2 inches long landed on my desk about 3 years ago and I nearly s*** myself. The pet shop down the town has some small tarantulas in and look a bit daunting.
