I dont like spiders!

This is why I like living in New England, we have spiders, not spiders that once had roles in 1950's B Movies!

one of the reasons i like the mountains in winter. there are no creepy crawlies like that. where ever its warm and humid there are creepy crawlies that can kill you. al least i know what im up against in the mountains.

We were on vacation last summer on Hunting Island in South Carolina. Plenty of places to ride you mountain bike, and one time riding through the 'jungle' near the beach I rode right through a spiders web, the web had a bit more strength than webs up here. I could feel it across my face, in my mouth, stuck on my eyelash, but I didn't stop just kept riding back to the campsite. Once I stop I see this spider coming under the visor of my helmet and walking toward my face........ not that it was the size of the bird eating spider, but, it was about three inches long, freaked me out! Only rode on the beach after that!

I HATE spiders.

And the cold doesn't keep killers away... Found a Black Widow crawling up the side of our son's co-sleeper last fall. Didn't sleep all night after that.

Thank you very much. I can now cross CT off my "potential places to live" list.

They just move into your nice warm house . . .

That's the problem with nature- there's always something waiting to bight you, sting you, or ooze slime on you.

Might as well cross off North America. They're all over the place, even into Canada.

Yea, don't buy grapes either. They like to hitchhike around in the bunches.

In high school I worked in the produce department and when bagging grapes one day we found two black widows! One kid brought one home, which must gone over well!
