I don't think they're poisonous, they eat grasshoppers and bugs and stuff in gardens....maybe small snakes for this one :laugh:
YUCK!

good pic lissa. Garden spiders pretty much don't want anything to do with us. Just move it outside and she'll be happy and so will you.

Man, I wish I'd had my camera the other day. I found a black widow bigger than that two days ago on a planter at school. Scary thought, since so many people sit on those planters. Damn.

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
That's the inhumane way of doing it...
Just run it through a laminator. Make sure you either put the thing far into the pouch so that the juices don't trail out onto the hot rollers.
Step by step method for dealing with B.U.S. (Big Ugly Spiders)
1. Contain spider in a metal coffee can or similar container.
2. Fill B.U.S. container with gasoline or other flammable liquid.
3. Ignite from a safe distance. Be at standby with a can of hairspray and a lighter to stop B.U.S. if it attempts escape.
Nice pic's :thumb:
Come on people spiders are your friends, think if you killed all the spiders in the world the other insect speices would go outta control. Besides they are cute
Still want a goliath bird eating spider for a pet but my wife won't let me :mad:. Kind of sucks I got ride of my snake collection had 20. Gave my lizards to a friend, that was a sad day my beared dragons used to sit on my shoulder and watch tv with me :cry: my leapoard (sp?) geko's went to another friend.
So now after living with animals / reptiles / fish for over 10 years all I have is a wife . . . :icon_rolleyes:
Yea, there are really only two spiders that are dangerous and common, the black widow and brown recluse. The rest of them are very helpful in keeping the insect population under control.
We have thos at work; they catch bees, so it's no wonder why they're so big!

From one cold-blooded creature to another...sorry, having marriage-regrets (not really, 13 years
of misery (I didn't say that!))...okay, I haven't been laid in a while! It's true, sex stops after marriage! I liken my wife to a snake...it only needs to be fed once a week and it's good for another week. There I said it. :flipoff: It's ARGravating.
not bad for a point and shoot eh?
:laugh: maybe i should consider it a blessing that I can't marry AJ then? :laugh:
AHHH! YOU FOUND FOLGERS IN YOUR OWN HOUSE!!! AHHH!

Geeze, coming from Old Mr. Wilson, that statement is creeper than the original spider pic. :o
Garden spiders do not bother me too much. Last summer I found this in my garage:

Yes, it's a black widow. I have no idea how it lost a leg. It lost more than a leg shortly after the photo was taken. :icon_twisted: Nothing in the picture provides scale, but the thorax was about the size of the end of your middle finger (fairly large for a black widow). I usually find black widows outside or in the garage.
Here in western Oklahoma, we also have the other poisonous spider found in the US -- the brown recluse. I got bitten on the top of the leg by one about five years ago. My whole upper leg was swollen and purple. Thanks to a quick cortisone injection in the bite, I didn't lose any flesh. I look much closer before putting on clothes now :o
Garden spiders are your friend -- it's some of the others that you have to watch out for!
That's beautiful.
You know that the only reason the spiders are in the house is that there is plenty to prey on.
