Spiders...

Post by Swatcat27 »

WTF..they are everywhere...kinda seems like they have taken over the country this summer.
I have a ton of them in my garage, weaving their ridiculous thing everywhere...but the last few days I have been having bite marks everywhere..I was in denial that they could actually get inside my house...coz I'm like Secret Weapon - No mercy..If I find one, I torture them & then kill them slowly so that I can send a message to their friends...Anyways, last night, as I was denying their presence inside & arguiing with my wife, a fat one was hopping off my bed....I have like 6 red marks from the bites, just from last night...I plan to spend the weekend spraying them...but WTF, I could have done better things this weekend...Btw, I think Spidywebs are kinda gross. ^&^*&(*()$

It's that time of the year. By me, in the mornings if you go out you will see literally hundreds of these:

They spin their webs near streams along the grasses and make a killing. They really are beautiful. Even people freaked out by spiders (i.e. my wife) thinks they are cool once I told her they were harmless.

Spiders eat tons and tons of mosquitoes, so i tend to not mind them so much.

But if you really want to get the willies, read this!

"There are times you can literally hear the screech of millions of mosquitoes caught in those webs."
That's awesome.
