Each Little Speck Is a Baby Spider I Released Here Into the Woods Next Door And She Let the Container and Later Returned Back and Has Set up Guard In the Container.

That's actually pretty cool, thanks for posting......

Had a big spider, don't know what kind, living behind the down spout, and was catching and eating yellow jackets....Good enough for me.

Used to just "wound' a yellow jacket, then flip it into the web.....feeding my spider.

Only problem was the little yellow drips of, I suppose spider poop, on the siding......

Hmmm, Are you sure you thought this through..?


Spiders are cool and all, but have you googled images of black widow spider bites?

Well there is THAT....and they don't retrieve too well.....Threw the tennis ball and "Spidey", (that's what I called her),....tried to catch it.....and got smashed flat!.....Sad.

Had a big black and yellow spider was keeping watch over my cabbage, had this big web and was catching cabbage moths.......Didn't try the tennis ball.....

Those Black and Yellow things will freak you out when you are walking to your bow stand before daylight! Get wrapped around the face with a dew wet web (say that 10 times fast!) Teaches you to walk with your bow out front!

I was cleaning out my garage, last week, and in one of the boxes I was going to throw out I saw 2 spider webs. Each one had a black widow spider, an egg sack, and one of them had a gazillion little specks moving around.

It was hot that day, but that didn't stop me from starting a big ol' fire...right then! Being ever mindful of time spent on projects, I didn't go the normal route of fire making. I used a propane torch to light all parts of that cardboard box, at once. I'm sorry to say, that due to my haste, I don't think the poor spiders had time to get out.

Growing up, we called those big black and yellow ones "writing spiders". Story is, if the spider sees your teeth, it will write your name in its web and your teeth will fall out. (That zig-zag stuff in the middle of it's web is it's writing.)

To this day, I don't smile at those spiders.

The zig-zag stuff in the middle is so birds can see the web and not fly through it. It's true. Ask a spider.

Kinda funny, but every Black Widow spider...or any other kind, for that matter, that I've ever found just seemed to die before I could make them a pet. Why are they so suicidal...they just seem to dive right under my boot! :yes:

Have you every asked a spider if the zig-zag stuff is the names of people who's teeth it has seen, and caused to fall out?

That's why the 4 wheelers at the La. deer lease have the "flag pole" on the front, or you have to cut a switch to knock down the webs across the trails.......Had a great pic' of a biggin' that didn't come out on my old camera....Looked like the one on the openings of "Swamp People"........Came a took away my sandwich.

Living in Florida We have a lot of people. As of right now there are about 8 people sitting on my back porch watching me rebuild my web. There are two big old guys and a lot of women. Catching a man when women are around is a lot of fun because all the women start screaming. It's relaxing just watching them run in all directions.

So, you're gonna charge us a lot, to get rid of Rick?

Of course. How much is it worth to you? Oh, wait a minute.

Don't worry, Rick. I don't want you gone. Heck, with Ken not hanging around here any more, you're the only one I have to pick on. If you were gone, the only one that would be left for me to pick on is "B"........and well, I'm just scared of her!
