About that spider pic from yesterday...

[sulky_rhino]

So I did like mordyn4 suggested, and I posted the picture of the spider from yesterday's post on spiderphotos. They were very friendly and incredibly enthusiastic (one person said the picture is "super cool"), and they told me that the spider (I'm going to call it Betty from now on :P) was a female wolf spider, and that those things on her back are her babies. Yes,

URGH. Babies. Yuck.

Yeah, I figured they had them where I live, since Australia has all that sort of thing. =D

[sulky_rhino]

Yes, but you have even worse things over there, don't you? :O This one is probably one of the nicer spiders you have there. :P

Among thr more interesting things I've found in the bathroom are a lizard and a scorpion. No one believed me about the scorpion, so when I saw another one I kept it to show people. They're really only about an inch long but still very definitely a scorpion. I mean, it's not like scorpions really look like anything else.

I haven't encountered a spider to nasty as that one yet. I've seen on as big as m hand, but it wasn't a too dangerous type.

We have scorpions in Slovenia too! The first time I saw one I was like :O!!! I don't think they're that dangerous though. Their sting is probably like a sting of a wasp.

when I saw another one I kept it to show people.

Were you able to keep it alive? When we caught one it died really quickly (a few hours). It stung itself, I think. :/

OMG!!!! O_O What does it eat? Birds and small dogs??? :O

We definitely have wold spiders here, I've seen lots in my lifetime. I just don't like to think about it. So that whole thing you did up there is not EVEN funny! If I have nightmares, it's on you. >=/

Aww, sorry. :( *uses a cute fluffy icon* So that you'll dream of bunnies tonight instead. :D

I thought those were babies but I didn't want to look long enough to confirm my suspicions. Now I'm tempted to check out that wikipedia entry... I think it would be asking for trouble considering how much your photo freaked me out...

[sulky_rhino]

It was an interesting entry. Just don't look at the photos. *shudder* :)

[luxovia]

I foolishly did look at the photo... however, my hamster just ran over and squished a tiny Irish spider while he was in his hamster ball. So the obvious solution is to breed bigger hamsters to protect me.

Curses, forgot to sign in.

You're evil

*faint's at the horror*

I guess I didn't need to sleep tonight.

So very evil.

Mwahahahahha. >:D

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa..... *squeak*

Oh my god, I'm doing the silent scream of horror. The (ack, shivers up and down my spine) third picture with the icky babies!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! You are so mean. I had a nightmare about spiders last night. I'm serious. I can't believe how freaked out I am by this. I know what it is, your suggestion that they might have run up your leg. *cries* And I can't believe you have a mood theme icon with a spider. :(

[sulky_rhino]

I did the silent scream too when they confirmed that those are babies on its back. EWWWWWW. They must have been tiny... They'd be able to get anywhere and be impossible to shake off!!! :O

And I can't believe you have a mood theme icon with a spider. :(

That was just a coincidence, I swear! It made me laugh though. :D
