Spiders anyone ?

[Python]

The males are pathetic! They are literally that small the females don't even notice them

used to have a big female in my bedroom as a kid

 

I still have (but don't tell her I said so)

It's a Segestria florentina or common tube web spider, completely harmless and only a danger to a passing woodlouse, definitely not a Cobolt..... Lividums are tarantulas (Mygalomorphae) and this is a true spider (Araneomorphae)

 

And squashing her? Seriously? She's a whole 16mm on a good day, try keeping and breeding a spider and you'll appreciate the battle it's taken to get her that far..... If 2 out of 500 make it to maturity it's a miracle

Have a look for haplopelma minax it's one of the lividum family but it's gorgeous, mental and doesn't spend all day down a burrow lol we had 1000+ adult females of pretty much every species of tarantula available at our peek :-/ feeding day wasn't fun!

Human beings... find something rare, panic, kill it!

Oh well, it's dead now.... and it's not your fault our education system is so lacking in educating about nature.

 

....keep this thread in mind, try thinking a little deeper next time. Cheers, Steve

I don't like spiders but i always try to avoid harming them.

Saw the biggest spider that i've ever seen in the wild in England the other week. Came out of a hollow Sycamore that we had felled the previous day.

One of the guys recognised it as a fake widow.

Wouldn't of been a false widow there tiny, the "big" uk spider is almost always a tegeneria gigantica and that's a big hairy galloping beast.

Since we're sharing spider pics... this 7 legged baby used to live on my old balcony. These weren't poisonous at all, or so I was told. Regardless, so long as you don't surprise them spiders seem to be totally harmless...

Shame it got squished, beautiful looking beastie. Why do we feel the need to kill them just cos we scared of them, don't like them or don't understand them. 👎
