charliesmumSo there's this really weird looking green spider that keeps trying to build its web right across my front door.
It's a very ambitious spider.
I've never seen a spider like this one. It's like Disco Spider - it's a lime green with a red stripe on it's torso and, I think, one on each side. My curiousity about the spider was tempered with my extreme fear of them. After all, just because it looked like a spider going to a fancy dress party didn't make it any less of a spider.
I tried looking up the spider on line, but the draw back to looking up spiders is having to look at spiders and...again...icky. The only green and red spider I could find was a jumping spider, and mine didn't look quite like that.
If anyone on my flist knows about spiders, or isn't wigged out by looking at them for any length of time, and wants to try to find out what kind of spider it was, I'd be interested. Want to make sure it isn't going to breed rapidly and take over my house and then the world.

Dude... you aint even kidding...
on 2005-08-14 02:47 pm (UTC)It had orange and black striped legs, and an orange body, with this black EYE symbol on the back end of it, with white in the center. Me, being the arachnaphobe in the family, freaked the hell out, and ran screaming into the house. My dad thought it was the smaller one he has just taken care of the previous week. He came out, looked at it and was like, "Whoa, he's huge." Took some wasp spray to it. I mean, it was at least bigger than a 50 cent piece, and that was with his legs curled in the web. If Pops goes and gets the spray, you know it's big.
I've been looking for that one too, and I cant find it. These new mutants arent checking in before they move in. The bastards.
