    @Iocun What's the name (in whatever language you speak)?
    Well, it's a pisaura mirabilis in Latin.

    But @Jozlyn, it's educational and reasons never to visit India!

    Plus this video was found on Youtube connected to you linked with toady things in it.

    @Kyrra, I call bs on that video. A swarm of spiders overruns a village in India, but it looks like they pulled that spider bite picture from something else. Either that, or that is the most unlucky white woman who just happened to be in that Indian village.

    If you read the captions during the video it actually says that it's not a proper representation of the spider bites because at the time of the story, they were unable to get any. :)

    I found it fascinating and actually got onto that after following random videos of toads and frogs thanks to @Jozlyn's post in another thread the other night.

    Edit for dyslexia.

    It kind of reminded me of the plot for Arachnaphobia.

    Had a huntsman come up out of the drain while I was in the shower once. The spider lived but I think the entire suburb heard my screaming.

    My kids steal my shoes in order to battle these things as they crawl out of the drain in our tub. Would be nice if they put the shoes back, instead of leaving them in the shower for me to find after I have the shower started....
    so you have one of the most poisonous species crawling out of the drain in your tub? Dear god :o

    It's less thought and more instinct that makes me crap myself and attack something that is potentially dangerous. I wish I wasn't afraid of spiders, but it's something that's ingrained into me and has been for a long time.

    If I have to choose between a spider's safety and my own, there isn't much of a thought process that occurs there.

    Of course, saying that because someone deals with spiders by killing them makes them abusive on a general level to animals, that's both unfair and an impractical expectation.

    I welcome being educated on why I'm wrong. Furthermore I don't intend on causing a huge argument here. The quote above is an interesting one, and this is a thread of spiders! Thankss

    I honestly used to be scared to death of spiders. I still jump when I see a big'un walking around the house. If it's a potential threat to my kids (black widows are everywhere around here) and it's inside of my house and I have no way to get it out safely (IE: I won't drop it and it's not too fast) I do kill it (sadly) but if there's a little jumping spider around my kitchen (and I don't want them in there while I cook) I'll put it outside. Think about the fact that- without spiders - or natural predators in general- certain things would overrun the world. Bees (which I'm terrified of because my mom was deathly allergic and it caused me to be scared to death of) flies, ants, et al. would be much more wide spread.

    The quote isn't directed specifically to spiders, but all forms of life; especially since it came from Jane Goodall.

    I wouldn't say that killing spiders is abuse, really, because yes, our first, natural reaction is to kill whatever could do us and our family harm. It's the overkilling that we tend to do.
