oh yeah, I have those all over the yard. large invisible web curtains that envelope you as you head to the car port. most of the inhabitants are no bigger than a nickle when you first spot them. by the time you stop seeing them when the rains (in SoCal?) come, they're half dollar sized or bigger. they're pretty impressive

wouldnt love 'em except for the incredible volume of skeeters and flying termites I see caught in their webs. I figure theyre earning their keep, so I let em stay

I've read that daddy long leg spiders are extremely toxic, but lack the ability to really bite anything.

And, like BTD, why the heck do I keep looking at this thread when my skin is already crawling?

It's mixed emotions for me, I think. I'm drawn to Traci's respect for nature, but I'm still phobic of all things buggy.

Neither are very deadly, but neither bite can be very fun to deal with. Black Widows are most dangerous to cats and horses - their venom can kill either of them.

It's been fascinating reading! There is lots of unwarranted fear surrounding spiders. I certainly share that fear at times.
A close friend of mine lost her dachshund to a pair of black widows that had nested in the doghouse.

Yeah, I'm with you there. Spiders are kind of cool at a very distant remove.

Mythbusters busted this. They can bite, they are not extremely toxic. I miss that show.

It's still on, they even have a bunch of online content they don't show on the show.

Or are you not watching in protest of the horrible scripting they've taken to in the recent season?

Heehee. I'm not watching because we don't have cable anymore.

Can someone do me (and DP) a huge favor and change the title if photos arise? I can't seem to look away but if photos show up.. all bets are off.

Hey BTD: Don't open this:

Good thing Indi does not harbor Ron Weasley's opinion of spiders....

This is cool, but also a bit creepy.
