Giant flying spiders headed to the East coast

a reply to: sarahvital

Agreed I've always found spiders to be intelligent , But bears are just dumb and brutal.

For humor :
My son in law was mowing my yard for me once upon a time .
He came in asking if I had a baseball bat.
I asked , why ?
Son in law stated because of the spider that built the web hed had seen .
Of course I said , show me.
One look at the web , and I said you are gonna need my 10 gauge shotgun for that spider.
There was a massive web up between 2 trees 6' between .

True story .

Blaming international shipping / containers is a much more likely explanation.

www.foxnews.com...

A woman says she found an egg sac full of deadly spiders on some bananas she had recently purchased from a grocery store. While no one was hurt in the incident, her home reportedly needs to be sealed and fumigated for two weeks to make sure none of the deadly arachnids are still lingering around.

Spiders don't scare me too much, I've been keeping tarantulas for 30 years. One time though, a friend who worked at a grocery chain here, called me up, said come by the store. I go there and he hands me a deli cup, containing the type of spider in your story..Brazilian Wandering Spider. It was found in..a crate of bananas!

So, I put in a tank, interesting critter, it's eyes reflected light like a cat, very aggressive at feeding time. Well a week later, it has laid an egg sac..hmmm, this might get interesting, but really, I figured it might be infertile. Over the next few weeks, 2 more egg sacks. Ok, lets see.

A month later, I'm at work, my boss hands me the phone, its the wife, she says you need to get your ass home..NOW! So, apparently the egg sacs were viable

I rush home, she is in her wheelchair, rolling back and forth on the kitchen floor, running over these baby spiders, about the size of a pinhead. It was kinda funny, but at the same time..better get this cleaned up. Got it cleaned up, and decided, this spider would be better suited somewhere else..I think it, and the 2 remaining egg sacs ended up at the Vancouver Aquarium, with Rick West. The only time I have thought twice about a spider.

Interesting I saw the same with Wolf Spiders. Flashed my phone light on an adult a few years ago and they sparkled.

Not sure if they all do that, or just certain spiders. But first time I noticed it with that Wolf spider. Looked like mini led lights lol

You would be nuts too if all you did was study bugs, hell you almost have to be. But again she is factually correct, if it catches mosquitoes and the stink bug infestations we have here in Georgia it's a good thing, if you can get over the heebie-jeebies this one is harmless

We had one weave a web off our back porch, its web seems sturdier or it repaired it constantly because it was pristine most days.

I seriously think those utility workers snatched that egg sac..I couldn't have been the only dummy watching the giant shadow scorpion on the city traffic cam..Why would they steal it? The video showed them opening it up..There was a lot of other stuff going on so I kind of dismissed it at the time..but thinking back on it in detail..Its pretty obvious..

Thanks for the reflection..When I was watching her sometimes I thought there was some way she could hear the music I was listening to via the camera and more..At the time it made perfect sense how she might be able to do that, but now not so much..Maybe I was just responding to her..who knows..communication frequencies are an odd subject.a reply to: vonclod

Maybe they are part of the new Space Force.
The baddest spider we have here is the Brown Recluse AKA the Fiddler.
Thei Venom Rots away the flesh at the bite.
also the Black Widow aint no fun getting bit by one of those.

Is there no hope for the widows great grandson?

a reply to: Encia22

Really? Really?

Intelligent? Nope.

I've asked them a million times, to stay out of my house, and I will stop killing them.
They don't listen.
They run right at me, on the couch, even out in the garden.

I'm pretty sure it is just to hear me scream.

Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!! I'll be doing my spider dance where my arms are flailing like a madman and I'm screaming and jumping up and down like an idiot. The neighbors will remove the spiders just to shut me up.
