Biggest one we ever had was so heavy that when it fell off the wall and hit the shelf, it made such a clunk that some things on the shelf actually shook. Was sickening, made my skin crawl at the thought of it.

What you have there is a small garden spider. I have had them up to 5 or 6 inches in leg length. But I am no expert. Ask my brother apest1 he has 5 (at the last count) Tarantula's as pets? !!!!:confused:

Spiders are top ....... I watched a cracking fight the other day between a spider and a wasp that had become stuck in it's web ........ the spider won ..... I cheered :D no love lost between me and wasps ;)

Re: big spiders
 
I like spiders for the same reason as Rindy, they eat flies. The biggest one we ever had in our house was about 5" across. It was on my younger daughter's bedroom ceiling. My husband was away, (not that he'd have been much use as he was, shall we say, not a spider fan) so my son tried to catch it in a jar. He missed and it fell off the ceiling and my daughter insisted on sleeping with me for the rest of the week.

We get some quite pretty ones in the garden, often spotty or striped, and some big hairy ones lurking under plant pots. I just wish they ate slugs and snails.

Re: big spiders
 
I have no problems with spiders cos as its been said before they keep the fly population down! It's earwigs that give me the willies (ok no jokes pls!) :(

SPUGGIE J 02-09-2005 22:57

Re: big spiders
 
Why earwigs Red? Spiders can be pretty big and nasty.

My brother used to tease me that they were called earwigs cos they like to crawl into your ear and nibble the wax (disgusting I know) well I never did believe him till I was staying at my grandparents house when I was about 8 and woke up to find an earwig on my pillow...I screamed holy hell and have never trusted the blighters ever since, yuk

Mick teases me when I tell him to move the earwigs because they will crawl in my ear.

Re: big spiders
 
I hate spiders with my whole heart. Ugly little sneaking runts. Unfortunately my new house seems to be spider club central, so I think I'm gonna have to learn to co-exist with them. But if I ever find one in my bed, it'll be a dark day for spider-kind.
