Looky Looky Mummy!!!

Just sitting here browsing the forum when a HUGE spider walked up the wall at the side of the monitor. Now, normally these things don't particularly freak me out and I often just pick them up and chuck them out the window, but this baby looked like it was thinking of doing that with me

In this case I had to use spider suppression and capture equipment (a big glass and a bit of card).

I'm just glad it was me that this happened to; if it had been my daughter we'd have been scraping her off the ceiling for days.

No. 4 AO Bratpacker

The dark side IS stronger..............

Maybe it was the same one - I'm sure the one I just encountered could leap tall buildings with a single bound!

Re: Mummy!!!

Glad i'm not the only arachnophobe here. These things freak me out big time. Dont need to be big, small ones work just as well. Its a real bummer this time of year.
