What KIND Is It?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Solved!

I was sitting in my living room minding my own business and I looked over (thank God) and saw this hideous spider. I AM TERRIFIED OF SPIDERS!!! :tard: I quickly grabbed my cat Skippy and threw him at it and even he wanted nothing to do with it. It was the kind that are really quick and turn their body wherever you move. It was very confrontational to say the least. At one point it looked like it was rearing up to fight me. I was shaking so badly that I couldn't get a clear photo from 20 feet away with the zoom on my camera. The photos I took were from on top of my coffee table across the room. I ran to my neighbors house and she came over and killed it. I screamed the whole time. :-\ There was no way I was going to bed tonight knowing that thing was in my house. Can anyone make out what kind it is (was)? I am certain it would have killed me in my sleep. :o

Re: What KIND Is It?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know I think you've nailed it because it did jump when I threw my cat at it. That's how it got from the carpet to the tile. Do you think there are anymore in my house? I don't know how it would have gotten in, you would almost have to open the door for it. :tongue11:

The first one is called an Amazing Jumping Spider. They jump about 200 times their size....So that would be like you jumping out your front door and landing a block away....Go get em spidey! :tongue3: jgas

I'm familiar with your spider. It's known as Loxosceles Maphiosera. They always associate with a large family of the same. When one is killed, they gather in secret and await nightfall. Then they go forth to get revenge upon the nearest human who had anything to do with killing their associate. They are sometimes called the Ninjas of the Spider World for their ability to wait until their victim is asleep before they rappel from the ceiling to do the deed. They are so stealthy that the victim often doesn't notice the faint tickle as they move up the body to reach a vital area.

(tickle, tickle)

That little spider is probably the least harmful spider on earth. They like hot summertime and we use to find them crawling around on our bikes during the summer. All you had to do was scare them and they'd jump off and be gone. They like it indoors a lot too unfortunately. But they are harmless. I've never heard of anyone being bitten by one,...unless threatened by a cat! M ;D nty

If you really want to be afraid, be afraid of viruses and bacteria. They can live for weeks on surfaces, they are invisible, and they are absolutely everywhere, including every square inch of your body, and they live in colonies of thousands. They are adept at evolving to circumvent your immune system, or they can stand by and wait for a human host to be weakened for some reason, and which point they move in to consume you unto death.

Have a nice day!
True. Being biten by a spider is very rare. I would be more afraid of germs. There are very few spiders that are poisonous. I never felt my bite it was the infection that set in later that hurt.

funniest thread I've read yet on Tnet. :sign10:

I was really worried about your spider problem Peachy but Plehbah made me forget all about it.

You should have seen the spider that my father-in-law brought home from Brazil. Not purposely. Little buggar hopped in his luggage. Ended up under the ping pong table in the basement. About 4 feet long (well maybe inches) I had the privilage of smashing it with a ping pong paddle. Felt like I needed a boat oar. Felt bad afterwards and wished I had trapped it in something to ID it. Oh well, I'm sure there are plenty more in Brazil.
