here's a particularly nasty one

I prefer mines:

the eyes, man, the eyes ( note that spiders like that, there's dozens of them on my house outer walls during summers, they're something like 5mm long and jump very, very far when you touch them, funny little things )

He didn't rotate the f-ing turrets?

mmm, spiders. I prefer scorpions, though. They have the fangs, as well as two big, nasty claws. Oh, and a poisonous stinger on the segmented tail, just for good measure.



pedipalps 0wn j00.

Amphibious snakes. One bite and you're dead before you even notice it (the poison kills faster, then how the neurons transfer the info).

[Thorn]

snakes and spiders kick ass... snakes eat rodents (goddamn rats) and spiders eat the insects that would otherwise try to bite me...

Black Widow?

My family has a slightly less potent breed of those in our shed, they're classified as Stiodota Nobilis (sp?).

And yes, before anyone bleats "but no black widows are in England". We got them classified by an expert in the field. So there

Spiderman, Spiderman,
Clings to walls like no-one can,
Spins a web, any size,
Gets trodden on and then he dies.

i think any aussie could recoginize this one..


and this one

[mikhael]

I was rather expecting a redback when you said 'any aussie...'

[Setekh]

If they're poisonous, we've got 'em. Man, I had a close encounter with a white-tail when I was a little kid (about 7) - afterwards I went and looked up a guide to identify it, and saw all these photos of gangrened limbs from just a single bite. Damn nasty.

[Gortef]

Yep and we think that we are on the top of the food chain

Sure those buggers look creepy but some species are actually quite beautifull (and funny, referring to Nicos big-eyed-buddy )

[color=66ff00]Ahhh, yes... The good old "Run away! Now!' spider.

BTW is it just me or does that thing look like it should be eating orcs and hobbits, or perhaps a bus load of children?

a variety of Huntsman spider, we get a different variety.. though not deadly poisonous, they can bite... but they do scare the **** out of you too..
