    Spiders are better than ticks...Ticks could make me have a heart attack.

    You wanna have a nightmare? Down here in Florida, we have something called a Huntsman Spider. Google that thing, if you've got the nerve. They're HUGE. First time I saw one, I swear I set a new world long-jump record....backwards. Actually, they're harmless, but it scared the crap outta me just the same.

    We have wolf spiders here. Want to have some fun? Kill one only to realize that it recently hatched all its babies and they are now on it's back. So now you have a dead mama spider, with like 100 tiny baby spiders scattering everywhere. *shudder*

    Hopefully the one I ran over with the lawnmower did not have a chance to hatch her eggs, the egg sack was still on her back when I ran it over.

    My 6 year old and I looked it up and I almost threw up and he was laughing at me.

    And when they get older, they will exact their revenge by crawling in your mouth when you are asleep.


    There is a spider that lives in the corner of my bedroom. I feed it elder beetles to honor the uneasy truce that I feed it...and it won't crawl in my mouth in the middle of the night.
