Without starting a huge debate like the last spider thread I recall, I currently have aspider trapped in a clear plastic cup.

I wouldn't call it big by any stretch of the imagination, just bigger than any spider I've ever had in my house - about an inch counting the legs.

I've never come across a spider before with visible fangs, or that reared up when threatened.

Kill it, or set it loose somewhere? Perhaps I can throw up some pics if you are an enthusiast, but it isn't that special, not even close to the ausie spiders from the last thread, this is NY.

I say let it loose a decent distance from your house. you have it trapped, so there's no viable reason to kill it, at this point.

I cant stand spiders. About an hour a go a fairly big (about 2" across, but huge body, quite small legs compared to some spiders) and I ran out the room screaming like a schoolgirl

Yeah, that's what I figure. I was just a little angry when it jumped 3 feet from the top of a door frame, in my direction. I'll take a picture and toss it ... perhaps in a neighbor's bushes.

sounds like one of those huge grass spiders maybe? we have alot of them around here. I've seen their legspan get up to like five inches in diameter

Do you have stairs in your house?

set it free in the woods somewhere

Spiders are wonderful creatures. They eat all kinds of nasty bugs, vermin and mosquitos. I never kill spiders. Just carry it out, and it will thank you by eating bothersome insects.

Gah..I hate spiders. I was just working outside and I dug up two mother spiders carrying huge egg sacs. I promptly beat them to death with my shovel.

gree gree.

Someone you are mad at + Spider = Yes.

Run Away!!

Hmm perhaps I should keep this spider to use as leverage in certain situations...

hehe ^^ I never kill spiders either - they do a lot of good at eating other insectual vermin. And they're quite fun to watch.

If at first you don't succeed, lower your standards.

it's just a spider. Most species can't hurt you.

It's probably scared s***less of you, too.

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

Yeah thats the funny part about people being scared of small animals. Imagine yourself in their shoes, and then think about which situation is really scarier.

they do not know pain... they do not know fear... THEY WILL TASTE MAN-FLESH!

You trapped him in a plastic cup?! How could you! Spiders have feelings too, y'know.
Now just sit him on the carpet, open the front door, and politely ask him to leave.


Alternatively, slowly drown him in your bath, because it's just a stupid spider.

The spider was screaming like a schoolgirl?

That's some spider.

Just put it outside.

I put it outside yesterday. You don't think I'd go to sleep with it still inside my house, do you?

I wonder if spiders feel anger, or a need for revenge...

They do. And they usually have pretty vast and loyal families, too.
