Pic of the intruder in my stable today!

Yeah, jump onto your head and suck your brains out through your eyes, then you will walk the earth in a dead-like state, feeding off others...

What...?

Oh, sorry! Was just watching a zombie movie!

Now now, they merely inject enzymes, dissolving you from the inside out before sucking up the soup-like mixture Spiders that is, not zombies!

 

[JDChaser]

"poke it gently in the leg" my arse! That's awful and HUGE

 

[City Mare]

Come on ladies - its only a spider - I'm the one who has to deal with them in our house, the OH doesn't like them, or bugs, or mice, or rats, or snakes. Me I just deal with them, pick them up and put them outside.

Don't know about picking this one up - think this one may need a cob sized headcollar and a lead rein ....

 

[unicornleather]

Nice spider, years ago I had one of these (a Cardinal) run up my arm whilst I was laying in bed, about this size too!

[Ranyhyn]

I would have obliterated my own arm if I'd seen that on it!

As for OP's spider, geurgh, keep on expecting to see it in my tea now - I hate spiders, they make me vomit!

 

[unicornleather]

It did tickle!!

I couldnt watch the first one had to close it half way through!! Ahhhhh

 

[Kenzo]

Holy moly!!!!

 

[soulfull]

Be careful they do bite!! I accidentally cornered one in a cardboard box once, I heard a strange sound then the dam thing bit me obviously I had no idea it was in there or I would have run a mile

OMG - runs away screaming blue murder and hides!

Personally, I'd move yards. Now excuse me, I have to faint.

haha ha

 

[jendie]

Looks pregnant to me, look out for the babies!

 

[Spudlet]

**Hides under the desk whimpering**

 

[Lady La La]

Looks pregnant to me, look out for the babies!

Yep. Tiny spider babies...

 

[ISHmad]

I'd surrender my stable to that monster immediately and move out. Sitting here shuddering after seeing that!

 

[Molly'sMama]

That's good news because we need ANOTHER photo with a 50p piece next to it so we can properly gross out at how big it is

50P!! Plate more like !!
Shoulda seen the one we saw - but this was in America , dont panic xx

 

[tallyho!]

Some are quite pretty but yours, OP, was really quite scary, I'd have fainted too if I saw that........

 

[I_am_a_cucumber]

It was probably just Tegenaria gigantea or the giant house spider. No big deal, they tend to scurry away. Poke them gently on the leg and they will most likely shoot off, although like most spiders they can jump if they feel threatened.

Jump?!? That is not helpful!

 

[Horse_Mad!]

Eek! What a horrible thread! I've got goosebumps all over and keep feeling things crawling on me!! Yuk!!

 

[marble]

bought any bananas recently!

 

[penhwnllys_stardust]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! OMG!!!!!! eeeerrrrrrrhhhhh! that. is. gross! *shudder*
Think I would have cried!

 

[miss_bird]

that is horrific, and you should of given a huge spider warning, no sleep for me tonight imagining that crawling up my bedroom walk.
Horrid ugly things

 

[Tormenta]

But think of the flies they catch and consume, they do have pro side! I watched one shimmy down from the ceiling in the stable last Summer and catch a Painted Lady Butterfly while it was fluttering about, plenty muscle per ratio of size and stamina those spiders!

 

[Trolt]

I should not have looked at this at 1.35am!! Urgh, making me feel all itchy and shuddery.

I actually checked your location too, expecting to see Australia or something, but OMG you are in the UK!!!

I know! Me too ... was praying the OP was in Australia

 

[jroz]

EWWWW that thing was gross!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[traceyann]

Put a lead and collar on it and give it a name bless it. Im lucky not scared of spiders but a wasp has this old pensioner running like a girl
