    Camel Spiders!
    Oh my gosh!! They are so dang huge!! I've been told they are among the friendliest spiders, but then I've also heard of other Marines getting bit while sleeping and the bite area being too big for doctors to even stitch shut! I heard a story, tho' I have no idea if it is true, but it is a freaky story for sure...While a Marine was sleeping one night a Camel spider bit his lower lip and the venom made his face numb. While he slept the spider just kept feeding and by morning the Marines lower lip chin and one cheek had been eaten by the eight legged monster!! Awe Yuk!!!!

    by the way, neither the "photoshop-spider" has something to do with a "camel-spider" nor the bite has....

    more about Camel-Spider

    the infection of the picture comes most likely from a "Brown Recluse Spider" and happened in the States. story here

    all veeeeery far away from my garden... and that's good and make me sleep better...

    hehe, these are not killer spiders for humans, but all spiders are poisonus.
    The second one is a jumping spider, the third one is a St Andrews Cross Spider (i think). and ahh, the colourfull last one (Killer spider from space) is a infact a spiny orb weaver, seacrh for it in google pictures, then you can see manny colorfull versions of this one :smile:

    The Salticidae family (jumping spiders) is my favorite. they are cute, and if you see one try to put a mirror infront of it and mabye it will dance for you. that spider has a rare mating preformance.

    Camel Spiders arnt acual spiders, they are not poisonus but they can bite you.

    I understand that manny is scared of spiders, but werry few are infact deadly. usualy the lesser colourfull spiders are dangeruss.
    Like the funnel web spiders of australia, brazilian wandrer spider, red back spider, mouse spider.

    Then to the funny storry of the lord of the rings spider:
    spiders attracts heat so if you wake up with it in your face, is most likly becouse the spider attracts your warm breath. one friend of mine was watching his friends goliath tarantula, he had it in his bedroom and forgot to close the cage when he went to sleep. And he woke up with it in the middle of the face too.

    Barking Spiders

    Yes,and We Mustn't forget the InFamous "Barking Spider" {A.K.A. UTOT} that lurks around wherever there is too much Balot and San Miguel.I have been kicked out of My own bedroom many times and told to go sleep with the Dogs for bringing the Barking Spider home with Me..Guess I'll have to bring some "Beeno pills" with Me next time..

    Keep the zoo going

    another shot of the Yellow Garden Spider..not poisoness.spins the zig-zg up the middle to infract and reflect light as to attrack flying insects.The little yellow one in question is the Orb Spider.spinner of the worlds strongest web...he is only 1 of the many different shaped and colored Orbs out there.....This other Giant Green Macula Spider ia also not poison.this is a female as the male only gets a quarter inch big, where she can encircle a human head.Her body alone was 7 inches.If you see one Giant just like her and it has yellow stripes all over it,that will be the Golden Maculant Spider.They are not fun to run into while strolling down a trail at night and there webbing can reach the size of an automobile.....the small fella in question with the sad eyes is a variety of jumping spider...not considered poison..for there small size they considered powerful what they can drag or carry.FACTS both photos taken in Negro's.

    I have seen lots of those here and we'd been told they're quite deadly. Never went near any one of those.
