Tarantulas!! Okay, so I was just posting a reply to the "Butterflies" thread and didn't want to ruin it with tarantula talk but.... Anyone else have those boogers where they live? My daughter ran into the house last night hollering about a tarantula in the yard and that it was crawling on one of the cats! She said Patches was laying in the grass sunning herself and this tarantula was crawling across her face. The poor baby (the cat) jumped up pretty quick when my daughter hollered at her. So I took a jar outside to capture it to get a closer look. They're pretty creepy looking but for the most part... harmless. I'm just not crazy about them running around in my yard! Last summer my other daughter was playing ball with her grandma in the yard and one crawled UP her leg!! EEWWW! But yes, my darling husband took the poor creature way out into the pasture and released it. He told the girls that he had a long talk with "Freddie" and told him he better not come back in the yard and scare the poor kitty and his girls. Then he said he broke two legs and told him if he came back he would break three more. He was kidding but it was funny the way he told the story. We really do value the "good bugs" we have out in the country. If it weren't for those, we'd be overtaken by the "bad bugs" BUT tarantulas are still creepy!! |
EWWWW! I would freak out! I don't know how you do it. Saw this show not too long ago about these people who have all these scorpions and they have to do all this stuff to their houses to keep em out, yet they still get in.... :eek: EWWWW, I would MOVE!! I'd be on edge 24/7. |
All I can say is I would die. :eek: I HATE spiders, bees you name it...I hate it! About 6 years ago I was on the roof putting Christmas lights up (in NOVEMBER) and a wasp came at me, I ran...right off the roof! broke my rist and ancle. :( |

A friend of mine has scorpions pretty bad at her house. They do exterminate quite often to keep them under control but we all know to check our shoes before putting them on if they've been laying around. They also come up the bathtub drain somehow! I agree.... EWWW! I've been stung by one before and I will NEVER forget that pain. |
Tatumsmom, How considerate of you not going off topic on the butterfly thread. LOL. I would absolutly die if I saw one of those. I hate spiders, well I hate any bug, insect, snakes, worms, crawly, creepy thing. Guess I can add TX to my list of places to never live. |

I'm soooooooo afraid of bugs -- I HATE them!! Anything that crawls or creeps ... gross! |
OMG! I'm absolutely terrified of spiders and the bigger they are, the faster my heart pounds! :fainted: Something VERY unnatural about how they look with those 8 long hairy legs and those beady little eyeballls!:eek: They are disgusting!:confuse8: Then in the Amazon, they have those HUUUUUUGE ones that freaking jump in the air to catch birds! HOLY MOSES! There just ain't NOOOO freaking way!!!!:eek: I remember being 7 years old one Saturday morning climing on the counter to get a bowl for my cereal. Went to jump down and there was a huge hairy light brown tarantula on the floor! OMG!!!! I woke up EVERYONE in the house. My uncle captured it and took it outside!:shocked7q |

You poor thing... to have to be the butt of the jokes in the family. It's okay, we all have those things that even our lovely family can't let go!! You know what, I don't know what a mud-dobber is really. They are called that because they build little hut looking "nests" out of mud. Usually on an outside wall of your house or inside an old tire or box laying around. I'm sure there is a more official name for them..... anyone?? A little help?? |
Yuck! I hate all ceepy crawlies but i would die if i saw one of those things. |
We have them here in Missouri but I rarely see one. I have made my hubby stop the car so i could get as closer look at one crossing the road. I think they are interesting and harmless. I never kill spiders unless they are poisonious and inside my house. We have wolf spiders coming inside all the time. I try to get tissue and get them back outside. I don't like killing spiders or snakes as long as they aren't harming anyone. Misquitoes, ticks, chiggers and flies are a different story!Oh Yeah, mice have to go also. |
I have seen two in my entire life here in NM. One was at the “lake” and we were camping in tents…I didn’t sleep too well that night. lol |
OMG...I would FREAK I swear...I think I have that phobia of spiders...I can't spell it. My husband was joking around once...there was a HUGE corn spider that made a web in our yard. HUGE yellow and black thing...:eek: he was acting like gonna push me into it...I just about clawed his eyes out. Reading your post has my heart racing. If one of those things crawled on my I think I would go into cardiac arrest. :eek: I am VERY afraid of big spider...I can handle the little ones. :D |
My old roomie Joe and I had a pet tarantula, his name was Dexter! We used to let him crawl around on the couch with us. He was very calm. |
