sgm's worst spider encounters

i once as a child picked up a grasshopper from the long grass, and peered upon my prey in joy, only to realize it was not a grasshopper, but a large grass spider. i threw it to the dirt and escaped with my life.

 

I put on my hoodie and a false widow climbed out of the sleeze after i had been wearing it for a while... i changed my underwear after that one.

 

You ever have one of those moments where it feels like something is crawling on you but you check and there's nothing?
Now imagine that in bed and feeling something again only to see a spider the second time you look

Tldr spider crawling on me, didn't see it, felt it again and saw it. Spooky stuff

 

I hate most spiders except for Tarantulas, T’s are pretty fun to keep and I’m gonna own one someday but as for creepy did you ever witness spider birth. Cause that shits like the apocalypse seeing baby spiders in the hundreds running around

 

May an admin lock this thread due to disturbing content?

 

This thing is amazing for killing spiders
They spray all over the place

Except for Daddy-Long-Legs, those guys are spiderbros that kill other insects and just hang out

 

I love spiders. I'd never kill a spider if it was just minding its own business.

However...

one time I was cleaning the attic and a bunch of spiders fell on top of me. I freaked the fuck out. I didn't sleep that night.

 

i was on holiday in sri lanka and we stayed at a hotel comprising of bungalows owned by my aunt's friend

there was this one night where it was rainy and all the insects would crawl in for shelter (it was rainy a few nights ago and our room was full of dead flies with their wings fallen off)

and my parents and i stayed in separate units, so as i was walking from their room back to mine, i passed underneath a shelter and i felt a something like a moth or a fly freaking the fuck out on my face, i panicked a little and nearly tried to swipe it, and i thought it was just a fly / moth that accidentally flew at my face, but i just backed away, only to learn that it wasn't a moth, it was just a spider dangling on a web

i'm fucking arachnophobic since i was a kid like i would literally get a panic attack if i found myself inches away from a spider on a web (i don't mind jumping spiders but any spider that has the ability to make a web is the closest thing we'll ever get to a flying spider)

i couldn't sleep that night
