Swimming in the pool....minding my own business - Page 3

Aquallama · July 13th, 2008

God I hate spiders, I never used to have issues with them (I would pick them up with my hands and relocate them when found inside, as to avoid the deafening scream that was my sister when she would set her sights on one) but one day I was walking in the back yard and got nailed on the foot - it puffed up like a balloon, I was unable to wear a shoe for 2 months or even walk on the foot properly, the blisters weren't nice either.

To this day, I can't bring my self to touch one, I do kill them on sight however :)

Definitely a Widow....we used to have them all over our old house in Cali, just don't have a lot here because we have a bug guy come in and spray once a month....but I see them all the time when I take the dog for walks. It was a tough picture, i was in the pool, waist deep, trying to get as close as possible with a 90mm macro lense.....and deal with noon time sun.

Shortly after my ordeal I smashed two in my yard, and both had their real big, real red hour glass.

I've been bitten by a Brown Recluse.......very painful, and very gross....it just rots your skin where it bites you.

Brown Recluse Spider Bite

The Brown Recluse and Black Widow are about as bad as it gets for spiders here in north america. I wouldn't want to cross paths with a Funnel Web spider that they have in Australia.

Definitely a mean looking spider. I kill all spiders at sight of them. They leave too nasty of bites.
