If they're up in my business, I kill them. If they're chilling in an unused room corner, I keep them there to snag ants, et. al. with their predatory awesomeness. They are machines.

Ah yes, the Banded Huntsman. It's a big mother, but it's actually pretty tame.

+10....sorry spiders, I know you do way more good than bad, but I can't tell when you are going to go rogue or get into the Agent Orange on my gardening shelf and turn bionic w/me as your first victim, my neighbors next in line.

Why do spiders always hang out in corners too? That is the toughest place to smash them. There's no way they know that, right? When they're in a corner you only have one chance to get them, and then they are going to scurry away and all 8 eyes will remember your face.

We had a killer web right outside our back door and by the light. It entertained me for weeks. I'd grab a bug, throw it in and watch the spider spring to life in an instant.

Maryland is pretty underrated when it comes to huge, badass spiders. Like big-as-your-hand huge. Have only run into 2 like that but was impressed by both of them.

My father was traumatized by the 2nd one.

Is this a serious question? I need to know how much effort to put into my mockery.

yeah this basically happened to me when i was around 10. My dad asked me to kill this huge spider before my mom came back out to the porch for dinner. I stepped on it and what felt like thousands of little ones started going everywhere. Ever since that night i have just left them alone. I only cafefully remove the black widows i find hiding out on the grill or potting bench.

I would love to continue a rational conversation with all of you about our love/hate of spiders, but for the love of God can you all stop POSTING PICTURES.

I just want to know what's going on in lazy's picture.
