What kind of spider is this?? 2 Attachment(s) This guy is perched right outside the house next to the back door. I'm not going to bother him if he's just some regular spider, cause I think he's kinda pretty (even though I HAAATE spiders). but if he's suspicious, he's gotta go. :p These were the best pictures I could get. He kinda blends into the green backround. Including his legs, he's a bit smaller than a quarter. He's neon green and he's got some black stripes and white dots. and his web his pretty big and in layers, if that means anything. I feel like he's crawling all over me after looking at these pictures for a few seconds haha. |
Ok well I know you know my vote but I really think you need to hear it again..... DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE |
Erm... I know you're bored but really! Kill it! |

Ah it's just a harmless Garden Spider. They are pretty aren't they? I would just let it be, it won't hurt you. |
LOL Twalla and Vicky! can I get the opinion of someone who doesn't want the entire spider population massacred? |
ok maybe it isn't. At first glance I thought it was black and yellow. Most likely still harmless. I am more scared of the ones that hide and nest, not the orb weavers. If it doesn't have a red hourglass on it and isn't a wolf spider or brown recluse, I wouldn't worry. Of course you probably aren't in michigan, so I don't know what kind of venomous spiders you have there, lol. |
Ack!!! I'm not really scared of spiders, but I have been bit a few times, and it was awful. My rule of thumb is, if they have a big butt, they gotta go. Also when they make those perfectly big beautiful webs, they mean business. You don't see harmless daddy long legs with webs like that! |
We have brown recluse spiders but aren't they brown? haha. I need a spider identification book. :p and no way in heck am I getting close enough to him to see a red hour glass! :p Are they a problem if they're bright colors? I know with frogs you're not supposed to touch them if they're neon/bright colors. haha. Does it mean the same thing for spiders? ETA: ^^thanks! yeah. He's got a pretty big butt. and so true about the webs! haha. Still don't want to kill him though. *sigh* Any more thoughts, folks? |

Here in NZ we call them an Orb spider as they have a orb shaped body, they change colours with their surrounding, a harmless creature but I hate spiders all the same, if he was in my house he'd be sprayed if outside I just leave them as they get rid of pest insects |
Big butts and big webs are nothing to worry about. Especially with the garden spider. Their webs can be HUGE and so are their butts ;) Argiope aurantia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
Only my opinion but I think... That thing is ugly alright!!! lol |
I like your rule. I also have a rule. if it's inside the house, it dies. If it's oustide the house, I wait until it bothers me enough to kill it. OR if I find out it's harmless before it's experation date, he gets to live. |
Thanks for sharing all the info you guys have!! I almost want to find out he's venemous so I can kill him without feeling guilty haha. Cause every time I take Tucker out we have to run like mad past him. :p |

I have a house rule too: You're in my house, time for you to die!!!!!!!!! |
I got the shivers just reading your thread!! LOL...I HATE spiders...I would have to say it's a green(looks green to me) and yellow spider that should be removed from your yard and placed in the neighbors!! |
They eat other bugs which is nice, but I wouldn't want to walk next to it every time I went outside either... yuk |
Megan, if he's still there today put him on a stick and send him on his way. There's no way I could pass by him everyday. Princess says: get it away from Tucker, he's my friend and we don't like spiders!:2hearts2: |
Easy...it's a blurry one. :p j/k Looks like your run of the mill garden spider. I desipse all crawlies with 8 legs too, but I *try* to leave those alone because they eat alot of bugs. Here in AL you learn quickly to tolerate anything that helps combat the mosquitos! :rolleyes: |
We have so many poisious spides not to mention red ants that when I see one it's dead. Die to the spiders. |
Kill it!!! All bugs that make their way inside here are smashed. Bugs outside are allowed to live because I'd have to get close to kill them and there is no reason to put myself through that. If one was hanging out by the door though, I'd have someone kill it for me. ;) |
If it's not spelling "Some Pig" in it's web, then it goes. I might not kill it, but I will give it incentive to move elsewhere. |
1 Attachment(s) Thanks so much for your opinions (and personal grudges) guys! :p Here's today's picture of him. Ummm....why can I see THROUGH him in this picture? I don't think he's pretty anymore!! :( He's scary looking in this one. :( and if he doesn't stop looking like this he's gonna get smashed. |
