Creepy Crawlies....

DucksNuts · 09-24-2006, 01:12 AM

A few ickies from around my house.....

"Harry" the Huntsman - he lives above my computer in the office.

Dirty Big Red Spider that only comes out at nite and shits me because I walk into the web all the time

Well - this one doesnt crawl anymore, but he is icky.

NFI what these bugs are, but they shit me too, they are everywhere!!

Holy crap! Do you live in a tree house in the freakin' Amazon?

wolf · 09-24-2006, 02:33 AM

Do you also have a redback on the toilet seat?

Ickie-Snarlies and flying mouths abound in Australia.

Almost everything out there has the capacity to kill or maime at will.

"Ickie-Snarlies and flying mouths"

What wonderfully descriptive terms! They really mean nothing but I know exactly what you're saying. Straight to the point seems to be an Australian trait.

Well, we certainly have them, but they generally dont live on the dunny seat, under it sure...not on it.

I need to get a pic of a White Tail, thats the only one that scares the be-jesus out of me...that and the Tiger Snakes that live 'round here.

Great pics. I'll wait until I have a good day and see if I can beat cha'. Living in the sub tropics myself I bet I can.

I don't mind having a spider in the house, but two spiders can turn into 200 in one generation, and that is far too many.

"Ickie-Snarlies and flying mouths"

Now THAT is a band name if I EVER heard one !!!

xoxoxoBruce · 09-24-2006, 08:11 PM

Or a horror film.

Crimson Ghost · 09-24-2006, 08:43 PM

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!

What the fuck is that thing in the first pic?
Does it come with a legless Confederate general?

DucksNuts · 09-25-2006, 01:16 AM

Awww Ghost, Harry's harmless.

Seriously, they are. They are great because they dont make webs, eat the other nasty spiders and bugs. Apparently, the hair on their legs and body can make you sick if it gets in your mouth or eyes (they have a habit of crawling on you whilst you sleep).

They are HUGE though, they get to 14cms across. Harry is as big as my hand. ...so like about 5 inches.

Bastards give you a nasty fright when you dive your hand into the mailbox and they climb up your arm.

AARRRRGHHH HUNTSMEN!!!!

Huntsmen deserve to die. All of them. Right now. So do their dodgy, supercharged Wolf Spider cousins.

Have you ever heard the little clicking sound their feet make when they walk across a stainless steel sink in the night when everything else is quiet?

Have you ever been takin' a whizz against a tree and had one appear from under the bark?

Have you ever come home (not un-refreshed) in the small hours and in a short sighted, alcohol-contributed, phobic rage beaten your car keys to death with a rolled up newspaper thinking they were a huntsman?

Have you ever seen their eight metallic eyes reflect back at you while you're weged in under the shelf in the shed with a torch looking for something you'd dropped?

I have. All of the above. And more.

Orb weavers are cool. They don't chase you across the room and rip your arms off and whap you with them. They stay put.

It's my problem. I know - and I deal with it... Usually in a battle to the death, me armed with a broom and a can of Baygon - spidey armed with a whole bunch more legs and eyes than I've got.

I hate bugs. I realize it's my issue, so I apologize before I squish them.

Okay, that's done it. I will never visit Australia under my own free will. If I find that I have been brought there against my will, I will spontaneously die of arachnaphobia right on the spot.

that
