What else has 8 legs? Lobsters. I bet they taste like lobster. With a little garlic butter.

They are BAD! I was bitten when I was about 12 on the forearm, it was real nasty, got about as big as a golf ball real fast and took forever to heal.

Here's a good read on the brown recluse. My fascination with spiders has led me to do some research over time on the brown recluse. Everything I've been able to find is consistent with this article. While the article revolves around the question of whether or not they live in California, there are some parts that talk about the real dangers and over hypes associated with the brown recluse.

 Also make note that infections are often misdiagnosed as brown recluse bites, which tend to get very serious since the misdiagnosis means a serious infection is not getting proper treatment. So basically, brown recluse bites CAN be medically serious but misdiagnosing other things as a brown recluse bite can be just as bad, if not worse then the real thing.

I have an urge to kill any spider I see because I prefer to not be surprised and let people and dogs be frightened by the girlish screams that might leave my mouth.

The brown recluse is nasty and I knew a few guys at basic in Georgia that were bitten.

My personal non favs are the camel spider, which I came across in Egypt. F-ing big nasty SOB!

The next comes from my wife's homeland of Australia. The huntsman is another big SOB. I can't bring myself to kill a full size adult because I would need a shotgun to take it down. I'd just burn the house down lol. I fear coming across them and the king brown snake everytime I visit family. In fact, it seems that most animals in Australia can kill you (at least snakes).

Wolf spiders are gross too. A friend of mine found one when we were teenagers and it was close to the size of a baseball (legs included). He spent an hr amusing himself by poking it with a stick. They're fast too.

Very fast, we saw this one fishing. I told my gf to hold her lure by it to give a size reference. it was gone in a flash and she damn near jumped into the lake I thankfully had my 400mm lens on so I was plenty far away or I woulda been with her lol. They like to hang out in the shithouse, I'd rather brave the woods with a million Mosquitos then be on the shitter defenseless with one of those bastards in there.

My buddy was saying that the Goliath bird spiders in Panama sucked.  A shaft of sunlight would shine down through the jungle canopy, and those spiders would sit invisible on the spot of sunlight.

 

Saw more than one "Holee crap spider dance".

As with all of those things with more or less legs (snakes) than I have........you come within visual distance.......you're gonna die. Just because.
