DANG!!!! That is one nice spider. I love spiders. They are a magnificent creature/arachnid.

Wow, that is really cool! Can you tell me/us more about that? I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. I assume you keep it in an enclosure of some kind?

It isn't a pet. It is on my lounge celing. It is only a UK garden spider of some kind. :ssmile: The camera makes it look bigger than it is because I took a close shot of it. It's true size is only about 2.5 - 3" leg tip to leg tip. The body is only about 3/4" long :ssmile:

Oh, I was thinking it was a pet. Duh. :scry: :help:

I don't like spiders that roam around the house freely uninvited :hmm3grin2orange: Great shot though!

Reminds me of our Daddy-Long-Legs spiders we get in our houses, that seem to suddenly appear out of the woodwork, literally LOL, during the summer months.

Ha. Daddy-long-leggers are nothing i woke up to this one morning on my bedroom cieling directly about my head and the body alone was about 4" and with the legs it was like 6"

[Little Embers]

That's NASTY looking!!! :ssuprised: I've never seen an insect like that...thank goodness..LOL!!

[octoxpuss]

They are called thousand leggers. They bite big time i only got bit by one oncce and that was enought for me to learn it left this welt wish i had pics. That was the fastest i got out of bed. It wsa so funny how i killed it. U cant just take it by the legs because they break off and grow back. so that was impossible so i took my dads utility knife and like stabbed our cieling. it was funny. Thatnk got we could repair the cieling. Ha. DRYWALL can be repaired. ha. All i thought was i had to kill it.
