holy chit, and they are just walking around as if its normal
 
Yeah, typically starting fluid is my weapon of choice for large spiders. That one would get the shotgun. Reminds me of the bigassed banana/orb-weavers you see in TX.
 
Holy Cow! That sucker would get a can of brake parts cleaner unloaded on him at my house.

On a side note, I walked out into the garage a week or so ago, and heard a small noise. There was a bird stuck to the fly paper I had hanging up! He slowly rolled down the fly paper sticking to it the whole time until he came to the bottom. He then fell off and landed on my work bench. He proceeded to then spend about 1-2 hrs flying around the garage before leaving.
 
No i think thats mother nature on her period!! thats ridiculous thats not an insect its an animal!
 
Except for in the case of spiders that have 8. But either way, it is a beast!
 
you're probably right, but I always thought they were mammals..arachnoid or something like that.
I just dont want to get eaten by one!:eek:
 
everyones excited about a spider eating a bird? I eat birds several times a week. no one gets excited. i even eat cows. nobody cares
 
Spiders and Insects are in the same Phylum (Phylum Arthropoda) but are in different classes. Phylum Arthropoda features organisms with jointed appendages, and individual body segments (or in some cases...tagmata, which are fused body segments into one, such as the head of a grasshopper, which used to be somewhere around 9 segments lonnnng ago), to name a few characteristics...


Spiders are in Class Archnida while insects are in Class Insecta

Spiders are definitely NOT mammals. Neither are Insects (Mammals belong to the class Mammalia) which is in a completely different phylum all together (chordata)

Class Insecta does indeed have 3 pairs of legs, while Arachnida has 4 pairs.

EDIT**

Should mention, common taxonomy goes

Domain
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species

For some, its far more technical than that, including subphylums and subclasses...but thats the basic run down.
 
Its a finch. Finches arent that big; I could easily see a finch getting caught in a spider web.

I've been bitten by a brown recluse - twice. Kill them all and add fire ants in with them or bring some anteaters over here!
