Check post #18.

If I was in the middle east serving our country (and thank you for doing that), I think I'd shoot a spider if it was that big.

Nice kill, lol I probably personally would have started just throwing stuff at it as I ran away and got someone else to kill it. Sorry I'm deathly afraid of bigger spiders!!!!

I killed this one and its 9 trillion babies. unfortunately there were about 20 more in the wood I was cutting that day. Pretty funny to hear a guy with a chainsaw scream like a girl when one of these is crawling on him.

Yeah, and I also heard that no matter where you are, inside or outside, or anywhere, you are never less than 3 feet away from a Spider.

Have a good night trying to sleep guys.

We normally take RC car fuel (nitro-methane; puple/blue in color) and throw a bunch on the spider. When you light that gas with a match it burns almost white in color. Pretty neat.

Yeah, I grew up in Toms River for 18 years. My parents built a house in Cape May about 7 years ago and my brother's and I were helping my Dad clear the property of some downed trees and while I was cutting a log, a big *** wolf spider came out that was bigger than a golf ball. I went after that **** with the Stihl chainsaw.... by the time I killed it and shut of the chainsaw I turned around to find my brother's and Dad pissing themselves laughing at me. My one brother actully likes spiders and was mad that I killed it.

Ugh that thing is nasty! There arent many bugs that scare me but spiders are absolutely disgusting. As for the pic of the camel spider, my GF's bros have both done multiple tours of duty in both Iraq and Afghanistan and they have some rediculous pics of those things. If I saw one of those suckers anywhere near me there would be a full clip of rounds in it, regardless if it gave my position away!

killing praying mantis' is illegal, you can get fined for that ****. they eat spiders and other bugs, so they are good to have around.

Spiders are no joke, my frineds Mom died a few months ago from a recluse bite.
She got bit and didnt think anything of it. 3 days later she died. She was around 45yrs old.
