The largest variety of spiders can be found in the green strokes in the middle of high-way. It's a spider zoo there.

A human being also apparently eats 20 or so spiders in his life, during his sleep. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

next time take a broom and guide the spider outside, they won't hurt you why hurt them?


I would if I could, but no broom is long enough for me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

In fact, all spiders have venom; it's just that some of them are more than others. And spiders can look very different from one specie to another; some have a miniature body and very long legs; some have a very big body and quite no hair at all. They have 8 eyes that are quite never disposed the same way from one specie to the other. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

As for eating some spiders during my sleep, it doesn't bother me as long as I don't wake up biting in them. Beurk! *shiver* <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
As for being "pierced" by a meteor every day, it's worth a bit more investigation/explaination imho... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

Yeah. It's not like: DUNK! "Ouch!". To be honest, I've never felt being struck by a meteor. Not even when speaking in pictures <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />.

I can only say that I'm before big spiders angry and am disgusted. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Also with us there are big spiders and if my husband is nearby, he kills them, otherwise I must do it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />
However, mice do make no fear to me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

from pets to spiders (some people keep spiders as pets) to meteors... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Maybe you can try these to guide them outside:

Hey, girls, I want to see your big European spiders; take some pics for me! Macro photos are best! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

@LaFille,
They're really not that big.
Every now and then you'll see one that makes you think "gee, that's a big one". But normally they're all just your every day common "house spiders". Same as you have in north America. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Infact, in USA there are more dangerous and big spiders than in Europe. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Maybe not, but it's worth asking them the effort to take on themselves and do a nice macro photographic ouevre d'art of their spiders for me; don't you think so?
The path is worth more than the desination here; my imagination's already enjoying the kind of scenes it would make... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I will get sooo many nightmares with those slippers!!!!!

I have a severe problem with a few things...

1. Anything with more than 4 legs!!!! (especially those not living in the ocean - crafish etc i can sort of handle - on a plate at least, in real life i will avoid them)

2. Anything with NO legs that live in the ground (worms)

3. Anything that ends up on my plate with EYES attached to it... (i am a shef's worst nightmare when it comes to prawns... i will only eat it if they remove the head)

4. Olives. (dont ask i cant explain it.... i just CANT... tried and tried again... i CANT)

Of all the things i could possibly have a phobia about... its earthworms.... Cant look at them, cant watch anyone touch them.... cant come close to them... i will run and screem like a 14-year old coo-girl if you bring one to me...

Spiders.... some i kill... those i know to be poisonous, or scary... others i avoid (especially the bigger ones... i think the more you try to re-locate them, the scarier they become... when you just see them and then re-locate YOURSELF, they are much less scary <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> )

Hmmmm someone mentioned mice?????

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

I once killed a mouse by "accident"... We got home one evening... and my 2 little monsters (tantrum and jessy - the 2 whos' pics are also in this thread), rushed into the house, and started sniffing profusely by a coutch.... so i lifted the coutch and they both run to the next coutch and sniffed there.... I I decided to lift that coutch too, so they can get to whatever they are after.... and out runs a mouse.... before they could even chase the mouse, i let out this blood-curdling EEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> and the mouse drops DEAD in its track.... it got a heart attack...

Lady_Rain, with those phobias you might certainly not enjoy going fishing, eh? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

As for killing a mouse, something like that happened to a girl I was with at a horse stable; but I think it's worst. The girl was perched on a chair to reach a saddle on the wall, and when she stepped off of the chair whith that big saddle in her arms that was preventing her from seeing at her feet, she landed on a mouse. CROUTCH! Oh my the horrible noise it did! (soon followed by an ear-splitting scream from the her) It still makes me quiver just to think about it again.
The only noise worst than that that I ever heard was a nose being broken by a baseball ball... (really traumatic sound!)

In addition, I'm even not able to handle hearing/feeling an insect being squelched... (imagine the girl when she watched the end of MIB!) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

Hi there, I finally <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> took some pics of our chickens, but of course they are all grown up now. But we bought some new species to add to the collection.
Don't look at the small spaces or the rubbish, once we are moved (half way november) they will have a big piece of the garden to play around.
Aracauna breed:this breed is from the Peru Indians and has the lowest cholesterol in their eggs. When you look at their heads, you can see that the head is rather big for that body, but that is because it's a fight breed. But we only keep them for their eggs of course. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Cuzco, the Peruvian Roosterlaugh
Cochin breed: These supposed to be kind animals, but instead they are picking at each other a lot. But later we will put some bunnies in the garden, they divert the chickens by their hopping and playing. We are also thinking of taking a little goat, that way we have lots of pretty animals and my son will love to feed them. And you don't have soo much kitchen leftovers anymore, the Aracauna breed eat letterly everything!
Hollandse krielen: this breed is from Holland and is one of the smallest race in chickens. They have tiny eggs but they taste soo good. Very tolerant species towards other animals, and easy to make use to your hands.
I hope you liked those pics, and once we are moved, I will try to make some pics of the new chicken/bunny hotel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Gal, Very nice Chickens, they look soooo tasty!! (Only Kidding <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />)
I particularly like the look of Cuzco, the Peruvian Rooster, with his extra set of wings on his head <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
.

I don't think that the way those chickens look right now, that they are very tasty, with all the feathers and all ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

He looks very proud, but we didn't even HEAR Cuzco once, maybe he is mute? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

@ Janggut
Lovely kitties, but I really hope that they have other names then Shy 1 & 2 and Playful 1 & 2 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

they don't really have a name, i normally call them using different sounds of meow. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

spick, the reason they look skinny is because they are so hyperactive! they just don't keep the fat & laze the afternoon away. but wait till they get older then they'll put on weight as they will learn the adult way to laze away the afternoon. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
