Anyone had encounters with this creature?

Spiders.....Yuck, hate them and have nothing to do with them....I stay away from then, they stay away from me....both sides are happy! lol ):

PaganWolf mentioned in the Camel Spider thread that he used to be a bit of a spider buff....not sure what you wanted to know about them but he's likely to have an idea or two.... :biggthump

Just looked them up, it says in this website that the "Wondering Spider" is one of the most dangerous, aggressive and deadly poisonous spiders in the world, not to mention one of the fastest......nice! ):

I was asked to identify a big brown spider found in a london tea and coffee importers warehouse turned out to be one of these girls, lucky i got it and secured it when i did as the egg sack she was carrying hatched out a couple of days after, i believe it to be the most venomous spider in the new world, they are incredibly fast and very skitish if she bites you theres a high possibility that you will die :shock: unless you know what you are doing do not try and catch or get near one of these lovelys as if it bites you and you are invenomated with its neurotoxin your body will shut down very quickly like turning off a light switch, you gotta love spiders eh! i would be suprised if you have one of these critters in your nanas though!

Necrotic venom right? :yikes:

neurotoxin, attacks the nervous system shuts you down like an off switch.

JP I think The General was talking about the horrendous looking photo's of the Recluse Spider bites in the link I posted below....they use Necrotic venom....

Don't know which is worse....lights off and all over quick....or slowly turning into one big weeping open sore...... :yikes: This is why I don't like Spider....at least with Mamals you more or less know where you stand! lol

It's not the Spiders coming from the Generals direction I'm worried about, It's the 100's of tons fresh freight that come into the country on BA aircraft everyday. Whenever theres a problem in the freight bays, In I go without a care in the world. Well not any more !! ): These things are meant to be be fumigated before departure. Last week we had a report of a "Gecko sized lizard" in one of the Galleys on the aircraft.
