Dumaguete Killer Spiders

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!!!!

Wow that's quite a story you should get a job working for the National Inquirer LOL. I have one in my house somewhere. I saw him a few nights ago. Huge fella he is. I hate spiders as much as I hate snakes....

 

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

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.

 

Now im not sertain about the first one.
Here are the Famely names:

Gasteracantha - spiny orb weaver
Salticidae - Jumping Spiders
Argiope - St Andrews Cross Spider

 

The first spider, does it have yellow and white stripes on its back? the photo is abit hard to see for an identification. and how big is it?
at first i thought it was a Argiope bruennichi (Wasp spider). but now im realy not sure.

 

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..

 

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