When I left the house for work this morning I spotted this spider eating his breadfast. Boy was he fat. I just had to take his picture. As long as he stays where he is and not in my house we will both be happy.

looked like a beheaded junebug to me. and if that's what that rascal likes to eat then you can send it over to my place as i hates junebugs. :rotfl:

Awesome pics :cheers:

Yep....it was a june bug. All that is left now is just his shell. Spidie wasn't there this morning and neither was his web. Maybe Mr. Sparrow paid him a visit.

I used to have the purtiest spiders make webs around the house. But in the last few years have not seen them. I think the lizards may be getting them. I have a bunch of lizards this year. It's a funny sight to see my dog chase them. They love to run past him then cut in between his legs. It's a hoot!
Great pic!!!!:cheers:

Spiders use to not bother me but I came home from fishing saturday night around 10 and my fience informed me she got bit by a brown recluse (sp?) in our house the day before and had done killed 2 of them.
Needless to say I was up untill 12:30 that night spraying for bugs. I used some pretty heavy duty stuff and haven't had a bug in the house since.
She is a RN and everyone she talked with at the hospital on monday said the bite actually don't look too bad even though its the size of a baseball.

this guy is on another site i visit. he was bitten about a month ago and is doing better.

I am pretty suprised I have never seen any Brown Recluses around my house. Have seen just about everything else, snakes, lizards, praying mantes, mice, and even had a rat hideing under the dog house a couple weeks ago. Used to have spiders everywhere, but not many any more. Those Brown Recluses are bad news. They can really mess you up. Dated a girl who got bit by one. Her ankle swelled up to be the same size as her thighs. Bad deal!!!!

 

[riverbottomhunter]

Hers never got that swollen. Thank goodness. Just turned red. I heard that if its bad enough the bite area will turn black and eat away at the skin, but have never seen a picture of it till now. They said for that to happen the spider has to be very mature and inject alot of vinem.

Some advice here on brown recluse spiders..

If you find and kill one... DONT tell your wife!!
