The creepy crawly thread.....

Wildcat, that use to be one big spider.

Ha, not anymore if you know what I mean..

I got that rule too Andy...stay outside you live! cross the door step and your stuffed!

Here's one of the little helpers around my house. Glad to see I'm not the only one who likes to take pics of little things up close.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Cool shot Leonard!

 

[R Leonard]

yeah, the little booger could not have been more than an inch and a quater long in that stance.

Cope's Grey Tree Frog (Hyla chrysoscelis)

Nice shot, up close and personal.

Found this guy in the bathroom. Huge.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Let me guess, it's no longer here.

 

[B-17engineer]

Well, I took it into consideration what you said, and I trapped him in a cup with paper on top, and threw him outside. If I find it again, down the toilet he goes

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Hey, I'm proud of your Harrison. That type of spider is actually a hunter and does not spin a web in the open so they do keep the other pesky critters out.

 

[B-17engineer]

Yea, it scared that crap outta me, I was going to get a tissue and he was on the ground and I was about to grab a book but, fought the urge. It was 2X the size than the picture shows.

When I was growing up we lived in a 200 year old house and the crickets would over run the house in the winter so when a wolf spider showed up we gave her run of the house and after about a month you didn't hear a single cricket. She got to be about 5 inches across by the end of winter.

 

[B-17engineer]

That's good and bad

No crickets but the spider was 5 INCHES across!!! Jeezzzz!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Yeah, I woke up one morning and she had hatch her egg on my bedroom wall. The egg sac was about the size of the end of your thumb. There were about a zillion tiny spiders on the wall. I had to get the vacuum to get them off the wall. I then took the bag outside and let them go.

I have one of those wolf spiders. She lives under the cover for the grill. Seems she figured out the camel crickets like to hang out there, too. So, the couple of nights a week I cook something outside, I remove the cover with a bit more care than past seasons. Foot tip to foot tip, she's about 4.5 inches.

. My daughter and missus are both scared of little spiders so everytime they find one, I have to do the whole Indiana Jones bit (keep the whip in the bedroom...tehee !) and catch said viscous little fella and throw him out of the upstairs bathroom window. By my reckoning, judging by the amount of spiders I've lobbed out of this window, the pile of spiders must be just about short of the window itself...so they dont have far to fall !. Little b*ggers probably just open the window and walk right back in !

Rarely take prisoners in my place....depends on the type though...

 

[GrauGeist]

I occasionally get an Orb Weaver (daddy longlegs) up in the corners of my place and I'll let them hang out and do thier thing. I have seen them really do a great job catching mosquitos and such, plus they can and will kill Black Widow spiders.

All others are shown the door

 

[B-17engineer]

Found this guy on the door.
