and the bitch is living in my fucking bathroom with her damn sisters! urgh! I hate this species of arachnid the most....which is sad cuz I love arachnids.

Found alittle chink in their armor thouhg. turns out the shiny substance on their exoskeleton is what makes their bodies so durable against most poisons........most poisons that is except for foam sprays used on it's natural enemy, the dirt dauber wasp. sprayed a whole can on six of the things last night. It's like napalm to em.

anybody guess what Arachnid Im reffering to?

two more facts about this femme fatle I have discovered personally. when confronted, they play possom as in they turn on their abcks and curl up their legs to look dead. and if you attack them and do not succeed in killing them and try to move thing sout of the way, they will connect a webline to the object you try to move and use it being lifted as a way to get closer to you and attack you back.

[Umbilical Lotus]

Yay for living in Canada, where the spiders don't kill you but the ladybugs do.

We've been infested, these past few summers, with killer death ladybugs which like to gleefully walk down your arm eating away a red line of skin. Eerie.

Bugs suck.

Sounds like nasty little bitches....There is one thing that is guarenteed to stop most any insect....A 10 1/2 D Wide Boot....One shot and they are dead...

[malcolm]

mine are twelves reinforced with sheetmetal screws sometimes I miss. lol I like to torture the things though. theyre an abomination. a freak of nature. anyone guessed what they are?

[Evilbink]

Well your in AZ.. so my guess would be a Black Widow

[malcolm]

ding ding ding! correct bink! ofcourse I think youre a scarizonan too sooooooo no fair! lol. yeh big,black,ugly...these bastards like it out here cuz the neighborhood has a roach problem and guess what their main food source is? roaches! no dirt daubers out here too. fuck!

Dirt dauber wasps are one of their natural predators.

[Evilbink]

Nope...I'm a Motor City Man

[Pzychotic]

WOW!!! That would leave a nasty mark if it bit you, I've seen plenty of Black Widows when my G'ma lived in Pheonix, your right too, nasty little buggers to get rid of...

where the hell are these killer lady bugs???!!! are they in ontario? i've never heard of em

[Umbilical Lotus]

where the hell are these killer lady bugs???!!! are they in ontario? i've never heard of em

Last time I went down to Ashbridge's Bay the fuckers swarmed me. They like it by the lake. I live in Toronto. Apparently they're an import, rather than some sort of horrible mutant ladybug, but it still weirds me out getting bitten by them.

[malcolm]

Just glad I don't live like in oklahoma anymore (lived there a while) they got brown reclusesout there. and yeh. widows are a pain to get rid of. I found out that the foam used on hornets and yellow jackets works rather effectively on them as does GUNK.......most mechanics Im sure know what gunk is...lol. see widows have a shiyn protcetive coating over their exoskeleton which makes it hard for most insecticides to get through.as do most yellowjackets and hornets. well, if you can strip that shiny coat off of them, theyre verybritte and weak.The foam envelopes them like napalm and slowly liquifies evryhting. they turn into little black puddles. lol . the gunk does the same but it takes longer and eitherone of em you have to douse them till they stop moving. sucks. They're fast little fuckers....ofcourse most arachnids are faster than insects anyway.....longer leg span and more of em.

[suicidal_tendencies]

why does it seem that everything happens to you? maybe im living in the wrong place. maybe i'll come pay you a visit and we'll see what we can get into.

[malcolm]

remember that old phrase....Trouble comes looking for you? well, I've never met trouble so i guess I am trouble. lol I actually live a pretty mundane boring life. I paint-I go for walks nightly, drink forties and go to the stripclubs on hoofs. but yeh, come on over st....I'll show you my um....toy collection. lol

[suicidal_tendencies]

i'll bring some of my own "toys" k? hehehe...

[malcolm]

[suicidal_tendencies]

[malcolm]

[malcolm]

oh! and to clarify minx to me is not a bad thing. lol it's a good thing. lol just like calling someone a cunt to me is not a bad thing either. it's an odd erotic compliment. lol

[suicidal_tendencies]

we'll see about that...

[suicidal_tendencies]

[malcolm]

now im a have to take a shower in the blackwidow room.....lol is okay, I do a safe passage request to ananzi befor i go in....I know im cooky.......asking safe passage of spiders form an old spider goddess. lol

[malcolm]

[malcolm]

[sheramil]

Genus: Latrodectus

anybody guess what Arachnid Im reffering to?

could it be Latrodectus (formerly Latrodectus Mactans) Hasselti? ooh, my favourite. called the Redback, down here. came home once and saw a little male sitting on the back doorknob, just waiting for a human hand to come near.

the little bastard.

i freaked and used an entire can of insecticide. then i picked the body up with tweezers and put it in a little jar filled with Blue Nun brandy. i wanted to make sure i knew where it was, even if it was dead.

[grebo]

i had a redback on my hand once, flicked it away without realising what it was, wonder what i wouldve done if my brain had worked a second faster. glad i didnt squash it on my hand.

[scabre]

ahhhhh.... and over here we have house spiders and scream

[grebo]

australias a deadly place, we got crocs, snakes, spiders, scorpions, and the rare but extremely dangerous drop bears!!!!!!! ask an aussie about them

[malcolm]

those bears that just drop out of nowhere?
lol
that'd be cool. lol

[malcolm]

and no, it's not the red back, although they are in the same family. this is the one and only-original true maccoy black widow....also known as the button spider. I have read some stuff up about redbacks though too. they're related.
I live in scarizona-redbacks are an aussie thing.

[Vitorro]

had some of them bitches in My home last year, so I took them, and got what I could find and put into a bottle, added charcoal llighter and threw in a firecracker werent there no more after that

[malcolm]

yeh.....I live in a mobile home....if I were to do that-the house woul probly go up with it. lol <----home made by half ass labor workers.

[Pull~My~Hair]

when I lived in southern oregon there were black widows everywhere, along with a few brown recluses....but then there were these little jumping bastards...tricky little things, ya never know where they are gonna go...but...since we are on the topic about a week ago I had the sickest dream ever
I had a dream that a brown recluses crawled up and layed eggs in my ovaries and spiders kept falling out and crawling down my legs....sick shit

I am afraid of spiders more than anything else in the world....I guess not afraid, but they creep me out

[Vitorro]

I live in one as well Maalcollm, but what a wonderful tool a old webber grill is for pyrotecnics
