Re: Spiders

Well get this, my wife is a fanitic about animals bugs spiders and so on. If she finds eggs on a leaf she will put them into a jar to see them hatch to see what they are. She found a black widow and put it in a jar and kept it on the kitchen counter to watch it. Then she found a recluse and put it in there with the widow and recluse lived and the widow bit the dust we were shocked then she found another widow and the recluse bit the dust. and the widow must of been a female. Had hundreds of babys in the jar. Put it in the freezer for about 6 hours pulled it out warmed up and yes still alive. but they didnt survive a couple of days in the freezer. Yes my wife is crazy!!!!

Mr Chevorlet, your wife's not nuts and she and she & I would get on famously!

Her curiosity and compassion for life's wonders is the very reason we have top-
notch scientists. I would imagine that her curiosity extends beyond bugs and
her ways were why you and she connected.
You're a lucky man to have found such a gifted mate.

Never messed with them to the point of getting bit. They get indoor bugs so I leave them alone.
(Except for a couple time a year when I annihilate them with the broom!!)

Re: Spiders

saw this on the driveway this afternoon.

for those unfamiliar that is a spider wasp. not sure of the exact breed. looks a lot like a tarantula hawk, but it is smaller than most. the last one of those i saw was about 2 inches long. this one is maybe 1. they sting the spider causing temporary paralysis. then they lay an egg over the stinger hole. when the little bug hatches it migrates into the spiders abdomen and starts eating the least important parts first leaving the spider alive as long as possible. when the wasp pupates, out it comes and dead goes Mr. tarantula.

sweet huh?

Thanks ETsc10, She is a great women, been together 30 years. Her hobbie is horses, she has six, and then goats, pecocks, cats, dogs, sometimes wild raccoons but she is trying to keep them out of the barn now, she has found out they are not only cute but destructive. What a women!

Re: Spiders

I find it very sad that so many grown men are scared of something so tiny as a spider.

Re: Spiders

gross those things are in CO too. My land searches are starting to go badly. 10 hours max drive from LA is my (wifes) limit. That basically puts me in rattlesnake and scorpion and tarantula areas in all directions except due north.

Hmm do those wasps sting people. can I start a tarantula wasp farm to protect my property? lol Is there something similar for the bark scorpion.

whats even more sad is that someone would make a foolish remark like this, some of us have a really bad reaction to the bites. next time think before you post.

That's a big nope for me. Lol. Hate wasps. Have never had a problem with spiders but when a red wasp lands on your crotch when your 10 it hounts you for life and its something you will remember till the end of your days. All you do is stand there. You don't move, you don't breath, you don't think. You just that that ting sit there until he decides he want to scar somebody else for life.

Re: Spiders

I know this is an old thread but does anyone have any more information on getting rid of the brown recluse?I have two old vehicles infested with them.I have been using the sticky traps for the last three months.Some would say to use the foggers.Not a good idea.From what I have read they will just flee to another area like your house.
