I encounter black widows on a literal daily basis. There is no reason they should exist.

This thread is about Arachnophobia starting Jeff Daniels

Where do you live?

Do you live in a shed full of wet wood?

>>212393760 (OP)
did you watch the youtube video of a guy intentionally getting bit by one?

>>212393796
Texas, you can open up any irrigation or water meter box and they will be there

Very comfy movie. Up there with Tremors for me.

What the fuck is their problem?

One of these cuties took up residence in my engine and I had to Frodo him out with a flashlight, they really hate light I thought it was a meme.

spiders are bros

>>212393852
I see a brown recluse occasionally but never a black widow. Did have a very close encounter with a huge copperhead recently

>>212394087
>This thing that has no thoughts and has more venom than it would ever need to kill something 1000x it's size is my total bro

black widows are generally harmless you fucking dipshit

What if they made a movie about a spider but it was actually a sexy female human spider?

I was in bed, lights off, watching tv, a mother fucking fat spider starts going down on its thread from my roof, like 40cm away from my face, I quickly grab my shoes put them on my hands and splat the little shit before it can land on my bed, 10 seconds later which I asume is the kid or male also coming down also killed the little fucker. that was fucking scary.
fucking hate spiders.
I don't give a shit if it has poison or not, don't give a fuck if its the "good" spider that has no poison and eats other insects I see one spider, I KILL IT!

>>212394982
I dont like spiders either but this is severe mentall illness dude. I'm guessing you're some dumb beaner since you live in Texas and are trying as hard as possible to post meme phrases on 4chan to fit in which is extremely sad.

New Mexico here and I get them in my backyard. I just torch them at night. Fire is the only way to kill a spider.

I live in Oklahoma. I have a black widow in the corner of my garage that I pretend isn’t there. I see some eggs randomly and recluses more often. I get them confused with wolf spiders and panic.

I miss California when all I dealt with was daddy Long legs

What;s the difference between a black widow and redback?

>>212394171
One climbed into my mom's bed when she was a child and bit her. She nearly died and she still has a scar from it. It basically destroyed the veins and nerves around the bite.

tl; dr fuck you

>>212395486
Black widows are a lot bigger and only live in part of the country. I think redbacks are also more densely populated

>>212395460
Kill yourself, your "friends" are mindless murderers

>>212395486
Redbacks are found in Australia and have a striped back vs widows with the hourglass

>>212395549
Redbacks have a reputation for being extremely aggressive in Australia. Is this also true for black widows?

Same here in Australia, we have Redbacks (cousin of the Black Widow) in every water troph or garden shed I go to.
They're alright though, it's the Brown Snakes who terrorize my dreams at night, especially since I work out in the bush (I'm a Stockman/Cattle station hand) and they're often in the tall grass

So I’m assuming the worst spiders are
Funnel web
Wandering spider
Redback
Recluse
Widow

>>212395713
What about your cousins Victor, Hector, Edgar, Little Victor, Fat Hector, Edgar, Edward, Edwin and of course the 7 Jose's with spider tattoos? Are they all furfag trannies?

>>212395646
>>212395682
Huntsmen absolutely will bite you but they're skittish and would rather run away (they are fast as fuck and freak people out because of how insanely fast they are able to move). Get one cornered and they bite, it hurts had one get me once but they don't have venom. Still need to clean it though or it can get infected
I wouldn't say they are chill at all, the fact you are so much bigger than they are makes them freeze in place if they spot you which is why people think they are chill but get close and they take off. They also have a reputation of jumping too

>>212395713
And they unironically never actually go outside to and encounter the real dangers of dangerous insects

>>212395577
A black widow's hunting range is like six inches. They make little funnel webs in dark corners and very rarely leave them. You have to shove your hand in their web for them to bite you.

>>212395811
i only move a huntsman if it's in the bedroom
other than that it's got the keys to the whole house

>>212395732
pretty much
funnel webs are easily at the top. they are just cunts. real fucking assholes that get extremely aggressive if you get anywhere near them. i heard once that if you piss one off it will chase you and track you. they are fast too. the females are the worst, the males aren't as bad but still nasty
mouse spiders are pretty awful too. when i was a kid i used to peel bark off of trees when me and my friends were bored to catch beetles and mouse spiders love to hide in trees under bark and one of my friends copped a mouse spider bite. wasn't pretty

I am friends with the jumping spiders in my house, they are cool little guys who don't bother me but any other spider gets squashed, especially Wolf Spiders.

Why does a spider in the Midwest need a three inch leg span?

>>212395909
I love jumping spiders. Legit cute.

>>212395732
Surprised White Tail spiders never make the list considering they are literally everywhere in Australia and the bite can cause necrosis. They have a reputation for sneaking in to your bed and biting you which can go unnoticed for a few days since it just feels like a bad mosquito bite then all of a sudden it swells and you have to get the fucking skin cut out to stop the necrosis from spreading

>>212395964
Apparently Wikipedia says that’s not really common.

They are reported to bite humans, with effects including a red mark, and local itchiness, swelling and pain. On rare occasions, bites can cause nausea, vomiting, malaise or headache. Although ulcers and necrosis have been attributed to the bites, a scientific study by Isbister and Gray (2003) showed they had other causes, mostly infections. A study of 130 white-tailed spider bites found no necrotic ulcers or confirmed infections.[2]

>>212395889
I knew someone from Australia who said he’d pick these up with his hand and just throw them out that way

>>212396004
It's not the venom that can cause necrosis. White Tail spiders don't make webs and move around a lot. They move through all kinds of environments but they are normally dank, dark and dirty, say under the floorboards or throughout the walls of a home. They pick up all kinds of bacteria and if one happens to bite you the bacteria can get transferred from the bite and bam you get necrosis

>>212393760 (OP)
Do you kill them when you see them? I would

how do you feel about these little guys? they freak me out sometimes when i get them in my room but otherwise pretty chill

How do you Aussies do it

>>212396086
pill spiders (as well as jumping spiders) are the only ones that get a pass because despite them trying, their fangs literally cannot pierce your skin. i did hear that you should keep them away from newborn infants though

>>212396094
I went to QLD on a holiday with the family once when I was a teenager and stayed in this resort that was surrounded by all kinds of tropical trees and bushes. They were units basically built right inside a dense jungle or something. It was really pretty
Anyway we got the keys from the front of the resort and when we entered our little unit it was quite literally covered in spiders. Everything from small ones to big and even a gigantic orange looking fucker that was the size of a dinner plate, i'm not exaggerating. The walls in every room had several on them, they were in the drawers of the dressers inside the closet, on the sofa, the television unit, you fucking name it. Absolutely scarred me for life and freaked the shit out of my sister. We called up the front desk and they sent some maintenance guy out with one of those vacuums that you wear a backpack for and even he was freaked out by the size of that orange monster
Apparently the resort had been doing some work around our unit and had to cut down one of the giant palm trees right outside and big surprise all the shit that was living in it made their way into our unit. They refunded our money and let us stay in another unit for free on the other end of the resort lol. My sister wouldn't stop crying and wanting to go home for days lmao

>>212396086
I fucking miss daddy long legs so much man. I barely get these spiders.

They are literally one of the least aggressive spiders in existence
You have to literally be killing them for them to bite you
Unfortunately they like to make there webs in spots where humans will literally be killing them accidently

>GIF HUGZ

>>212396086
These long guys catch and eat other spiders, including dangerous ones. The only other spider they might lose to are jumping spiders, who also catch other bad spiders.
I keep them around the house to prevent widows and other big spiders at bay. They're also chill like you said, and pretty clumsy out of their web, so they're easy go relocate if you need to.

>>212396358
>>212396445
this is not advised but generally spiders don't like being stepped on or having any pressure applied on them. if you let one do this chances are it will just wander around and not really do anything. the problem starts when you want it to get off of you and your options are shaking your arm (causing it to freak out) or grabbing it (applying pressure), both likely leading to it biting you

>>212396086
I don't like long spindly fragile insects because I'm always paranoid their legs will start spontaneously dismembering and get on my face/mouth and it grosses me out.
Ironically the bigger and beefier the thing is, the less I have an issue with it.

thanks spider """bro""" what would I do without you

I live in Brazil and did some spider research for my Biology degree. Sadly I had to drop out, but the time I spent with (zoo) spiders basically cured my arachnophobia.
However, no matter how cool spiders may seem, never trust one. They're all blind, skittish and unpredictable. My professor got bit by a jumping spider even though he was handling it as gently as one would a baby. He didn't need medical attention or anything, but it still hurt like a motherfucker and his hand was useless for the rest of that day.
Too many people online seem to believe that jumping spiders are the "chill" ones because they can see you. They aren't chill. None of them are.

>>212397450
Neither are white but like the mantis we've been here a few centuries

>>212397590
Any spider that can bite you can also transmit all the horrible bacteria they have to your skin, including flesh eating bacteria. So enjoy that.

You're forgetting the famous slap your arm with your other hand and turn the total metric contents of its body into liquid technique.

>>212398061
in the time it takes for your hand to come careening down on top of it is enough time for it to panic and sink its fangs into your skin

we're talking about spiders here

>>212398121
thats why you hit it with the air blaster

>>212398121
It has no idea what the fuck you're doing until it feels the whoosh of air super close to it and then it still may or may not bite. It's not an opponent bro, it doesn't know what the fuck is going on, and don't underestimate how fast a person can slap

>>212398175
It's a wild predator that's almost always in self defense/survival mode, especially when it's on your arm.

I get where he's coming from. I live in insect infested Florida and anything that kills gnats and mosquitoes is a bro in my book. Anything actually dangerous though, like brown recluses or black widows I absolutely kill instantly.

I grew up in BC, Canada, and was bitten by a spider as a child. The bite started out as a red rash about the size of a quarter with a small white dot at its center. My parents thought nothing of it at first but the rash rapidly spread to cover much of my body and became unbearably painful. The doctors didn’t know what to do and I lay in bed for days in extreme pain before eventually recovering, only finding out it was a spider bite afterwards. I consulted AI and it says the only spider native to the region that could have done this is the Western black widow, so I guess that makes me a black widow bite survivor.

>>212398939
>>212398991
The spider represents his fear of commitment. Don’t go into it expecting a monster movie, cause you’ll be bored as fuck.

>>212396872
When it’s a foot long, furry and has fangs that’s not a spider anymore. That’s basically just a cat.

These little guys are funny, they're not even spiders. Harvestmen, completely harmless and mostly omnivorous. Even the biggest ones can't even bite us.

90% or more spiders (depending where you live) are not dangerous and they kill disease carrying insects like mosquitoes and flies. If I see an actually dangerous spider (widow, recluse) near people I will automatically kill it but wolf spiders and the like are totally fine in my book. I'll do my best to catch and release them. (Yes, I've been bitten by those too and it's no worse than an ant bite.) Obviously if you're very allergic to bug bites I have no problem with you killing any and all you see.

>>212400233
My problem is I don’t know how to identify the dangerous ones. Pretty sure I can spot a widow but the recluses I’m not confident at all.

I don't like this thread.

>>212396086
They don't really go anywhere once they find a spot unless you press them. They'll catch anything that buzzes in, overall pretty chill.

We're ingrained from a young age to respect nature and understand that spiders along with other potentially deadly animals like snakes are more afraid of us than we are of them so just leave them be or be nice and capture them alive and unharmed and return them outside to their natural habitat

I often have problems with silverfish (humid environment&lots of books), but I just catch some jumping spiders and let them loose in my bookcases. Seems to do the trick.

Reminder that wasp/hornet spray works great on spiders, and very fast.

>>212394171

Confession? My animal phobia is whales. They creep me out in a profound way. Some of it is my thalassophobia but it's also just the idea of an intelligent animal 100 times bigger than me. I understand they pose no realistic threat to me even if I was swimming in the open ocean. Thinking of one brushing up against me treading water in the ocean gives me the shivers though. The size really is a big part of it too because like an orca or a whale shark doesn't really do it for me. It's more the blue whales and the sperm whales that instill that dread and discomfort.

>>212400966
absolutely isn't a myth. i knew a cleaner in the building i used to work at who'd go into the janitors room to grab his shit and got bit once. thought nothing of it at first. a week later he needed surgery just under his thumb on the palm of his hand. he now has a small hole in his hand from where they cut out the necrosis

No dangerous spiders where I live, but I did encounter an unreasonably large garden spider in my room at like 2 AM.
It was so large I could hear it move, which was profoundly disturbing, as you normally do not see spiders the size of your hand in northern Europe.

I tried to make it move further down so I could guide it towards the window, but instead of skittering away from motion, it would turn to stare at whatever I prodded it with.

There was a standoff for about 15 minutes. I obviously couldn't switch the lights off and go back to sleep, but I also couldn't really reach the spider in its location.

Eventually I stood on a box and found the heaviest book I own, and destroyed the spider.

Since then I make sure to keep a large amount of cellar spiders in my room, as they can easily outfight any of the regular spiders.

>>212403066
The way their eye layouts differ by species is pretty cool

Horrifying thread

>>212403169
In a bunch of the species the eyes are simply lenses and the actual eye is a tube that the move between the various eyes. There's was a documentary which did a close up on them and showed this happening.

That actually makes sense from a mechanical pov. Imagine trying to see out of eight eyes at once.

>>212394265
black widows are far from most deadly they're not even top 5 and healthy adults dont even need treatment from bites generally. The only reason they make it into lists is because they're commonplace and kids/old people can die.

Sydney funnel web is the top but also because of it being common, six eyed sand spider is probably the deadliest (at least venom wise if not dosage) but no one gets bitten by it

>>212396459
they've just discovered a new species of funnel web in Sydney, it's even bigger than the Sydney funnel web. Its nickname is the 'Newcastle Big Boy'

that's happened to me a more than a few times. I was taking a dump the other day and a cute jumping spider ends up in my face from the ceiling.

I'm basically there.

Daddy longlegs definitely don't build webs, they can't even produce silk

God I am glad that I live in Denmark, one useless venomous snake that doesn't kill anyone, and ticks.
No other pests.

He probably means cellar spiders

>he's afraid of getting a boner
hue

jumping spideys are cute as fuck

>>212403381
They are transient and get whatever is around on the floor. Harvestmen are nice.

"daddy long legs" means different things depending on where you live. where i live they refer to these fellas>>212396086

But he specified that they weren't actual spiders.

>>212396422
I do the same but I have to admit sometimes they've been just a little bit too fast and I've ended up half-crushing them under the edge of the container

>>212403684
They're in the same class but they're not web builders. These ones are mobile.

Did you forget spiders have spider-senses? Best way is to gently lead them back to other surfaces.

I have an example of a reversed mandela effect. As a kid I had a book on spiders that showed some black widows have yellow hourglasses. As an adult I tried to find examples of this and there were NONE. It was completely gone. A few years later though I looked again and it's now a thing again, though they're mostly orange

Any spiders I should watch out for?
There are some funky-looking ones in my yard by I know nothing about our local spiders so I just leave them be.

One of the best things about living in Eastern Europe is that the only venomous thing here is one snake that you will probably never actually see.
Might get merced by a bear if you go in the woods though.

Spiders also often attach safety lines to you so even if you get them off they just hang by the web and crawl back up

What's this with cellar spiders putfighting the regular/big ones? Aren't they tiny?

huntsmans and daddy long legs are bros, same with jumping spiders. i had a daddy long legs living in the top corner of my office for 4 months, he just chilled there, in the same spot for 4 months straight. one night i was watching a movie, looked up and he was gone. scaled the room and seen a huntsman the size of my hand sitting above my head in the top corner of the room. i had to slaughter that fucker because he killed my bro.

>>212404240
Having observed a fight, it's not about the body mass, but the length of the legs, which allow for greater mobility, and importantly, greater height, so they can stay out of the way of the more thickly build spider types, and simply move around them, while spinning their webs to bind up their foe.

woah, neat little guys

is that the same guy who captured a giant hornet and let it sting him?

At the point where I'm some kind of retard that can't flick a bug I'm cool with death

Those were probably pictures of juvenile widows that you saw. Their hourglass starts lighter in color and darkens as they grow.

Huntsmen are kill on sight. Absolutely disgusting creatures. They have no business being that fast, large and able to walk up walls and across ceilings. Fucking nasty

>hating on spiderbros

>>212396349
You probably saw a yellow garden spider. They're fucking everywhere in Texas. Sone people in the US call them banana spider but really Banana spider refers to the Wandering Brazilian spider who are aggressive and quite venomous.

>>212398899
Try running through a fucking corn field. You will have a hundred of them on you.

I got bitten by a spider in Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park in Florida in the tunnel of A Bug's Life which is pretty dark. Got a headache and some light heart palpitations so I slept it off.

>>212405530
I got bit by fire ants there. Fuck that place and every other thing about Disney.

>big cats used to be number one threat for our ancestors for centuries
>modern humans don't care about them unless they meet one in the wild
>spiders were never bigger that the current ones (no, giant preistoric arachnids is a myth born from a misclassified fossil of a sea scorpion) and are harmless unless you literally sit on them
>humans all over the world can be frightened even by a still image of a spider

What are you talking about some have venom that is especially effective against the nervous system of simians
