Are you breeding spiders?

Isn't that Charlotte??

Charlotte's Web is a children's book by acclaimed American author E. B. White. First published in 1952, it tells the story of a barn spider named Charlotte and her friendship with a pig named Wilbur. The book was illustrated by Garth Williams.

Wow!!!
Hungry critters aren't they?

I know that there are certain male spiders that need to play it cool and get the heck out after mating time is over before the satisfied female comes to her appetite and eats him. I can tell you some of the nastiest bug stories ever told, I studied their sexual habits one I was younger...there are some good books about this!

i think all spiders are like that, some rare exceptions maybe

they'll have no whiny faggots around

see, I would have been stupid and put that pretty little gift on a shelf with my bird's nest , sand dollar, etc. <shudder>

when i got home a lot of the little spiders had escaped through the breathing holes and were talking all over my shelf

i had to grab them and run outside

nice bugs

You like bugs. That rocks. I used to collect these when I was a kid:

I know this sounds odd, but I have a fascination with the common black and yellow garden spider (argiope aurantia). When my mother died when I was 11, I really turned "to nature" (I lived on an old farm out in the country) and I would spend hours (unimaginable nowadays) without any supervision out in the woods or in the field. As a kid I was never afraid of bugs or critters. I was generally fascinated by the whole circle of life thing to which I had been abruptly acquainted just a short time before. The zig-zag webs are amazing constructs and I always got a thrill out of tossing in little crickets and watching the spider scurry down to have lunch.

We went camping last summer and one of those had spun its web in the corner of my uncle's tent. He woke up and it was just sitting there on its web. I cringe every time I think of that.

Why ?

I like this one! I wish I lived in Brazil. So many animal species.

how do you grab baby spiders? Scoop them up on paper? Blow on them?

you grab them by the web they just made!
they dont go anywhere without a safety cable

I should try to find a black widow and get a pic of it. I know they live around my house somewhere...

Interesting pictures, but if I were you I'd burn the jar before the spiders actually survive.

are you serious?

yeah, I didn't know babies made a web either.

how long do your bugs last if your freeze them

Why ?Because I have an irrational fear that I can't seem to break, no matter how much it pains me :(

Eh.. that sucks. Especially since they are so awesome :)
Are you afraid of insects as well ?

Enmos I appreciate the nature, but I am only advising her to kill the pests before they actually grow.

What makes you think they are pests ? And would you please define that word (pest) for me.. ?

Nope. Just spiders.

I can't imagine.. :)
Well.. I'll be touching any deadly poisonous spider any time soon.
There are only harmless spiders around where I live anyway.

Pest = annoying, dangerous, disgusting creatures

That fits the bill for all three

that is not the deffinition of pest

i think that the deffinition is something that not onl has no use, it's actually damaging

spiders are obviously not pests, they are a part of a very delicately balanced ecosystem

Pest = annoying, dangerous, disgusting creatures

That fits the bill for all three

It fits the bill for certain characters on SF (not directed at you), but it doesn't fit spiders or most insects.
Besides, whether an animal is considered a pest or not is doesn't say anything about the animal itself, it mostly says something about the amount of money it costs humans.
Animals that make money for us are considered beneficial, animals the ruin crops for instance are considered pests.

Certainly, but certain insects I think we can universally consider pests, such as roaches.
Would you not agree?

Generally humans don't like to have roaches in their kitchen for sanitary reasons.
Roaches do not originate from homes however.. they originate from nature.
So roaches can be viewed as pests inside the house, yes.
But the very same roach isn't a pest when it's producing humus in the garden.

Spiders get rid of many annoying insects, like mosquitoes, and are therefor considered beneficial.

they're... spiders

Yeah. I just thought they had to mature a bit to do that. Kinda like humans have to mature a bit before walking. I didn't know they were born being able to spin a web. I don't know why I thought that, I just did. :shrug:

Spiders are the opposite of pests, my friend. :D

They have never been pests, but people always seem to be afraid of them and instinctively want to kill them. :(

Uhm.. eradicate all insects and we're most likely going the way of the dinosaur.

Yep, imagine the damage to each and every ecosystem on earth. Killing all insects is a doomsday scenario.

Yup, the human race would die a slow and painful death as the entire ecosystem goes out of whack. *sigh* Such a happy ending. :)

Uh yes.. what's so funny ?

What brand do you get ? ;)

my husband and daughter went fishing at a lake. He said she came tearing out of the outhouse screaming with her pants around her knees.
Apparently she had a wolf spider to keep her company.

spiders eat roaches

wolf spiders are adorable

And then there are Spider Wasps.. :D ;)

Uh yes.. what's so funny ?

Most insects apart from a few do nothing but bug the shit out of Humanity, spread disease, ruin our crops and homes, and basically, they are pests!

Now sure spiders are an exception, but I don't think ALL spiders......

Oh god, you are worse than I thought! Are you an insect expert? Do you know anything?! Bugs keep the ecosystem going in a cycle.

I mean metaphorically. Are you using a computer in the recovery room ?
