Spiders scare me, I hate those damn things.

You're right.. I didn't know that until just now..

Camel spiders are not spiders. They are sometimes called "wind scorpions" but they are not scorpions either. They are a different species of arthropod called solipugids which are not venomous or have silk-making capacity.



Perdy little thing, aint it?

[duherman]

They are a cross breed . Watch out next time your in the desert. Those things might be running at you.

Did you ****ing HAVE to link that ****ing pic as an img? jesus ****ing christ.

[Decimator]

Ah, irrational fear ftw, eh Sonic?

[Necrosis]

I'd worry more about

[sonic]

I ****ing hate you.

[duherman]

Don't worry Sonic, I seriously hate spiders too. I can't stand them, and whenever I look at pictures of spiders or such I always lift up my legs off the ground. (Dont Laugh At Me)

[Condizzle]

I have a phobia-like fear of spiders too.  >_<

[Mac]

I also hate spiders, but it's not a phobia. I think 'stink bugs' (leaf-legged bugs) are much worse. Tons of those stupid things around here.

[CryForMe]

fear of spiders or Arachnophobia is the 4th most common phobia on earth. it is only beaten by fear of snakes (Ophidiophobia), fear of heights (Acrophobia, Altophobia, Batophobia, Hypsiphobia or Hyposophobia) and topping the list is fear of death (Thanatophobia). The least common phobia on earth is the fear of the collor yellow (Xanthophobia).
Now dont you all feel better about yourselves.
Wimps.

I have a fear of heights, dark and/or deep water, and I'm claustrophic. Back to spiders, though, one bit the back of my hand a while back and left a scar. One reason I hate them.

[CryForMe]

i have really bad luck with spiders, so i should be afraid of them, but im not. been bitten by a blackwidow twice (no, they dont really kill you, you just get woozy) and bitten by a brown recluse on the shoulder and had a big chunk of my shoulder skin turn black and flake off (grew back of course, just nasty to watch). but i like spiders. they eat mosquitos. and i hate ****ing mosquitos.

[Temm]

the worst feeling to me in the world has to be embarassment...not some silly bugs.

[Necrosis]

Seems like those recluse spiders really love you.

When I was in Uni I was working on a modified flu virus that caused your body to synthesise recluse venom as well as produce more virus.


Interestingly, the only real treatment for recluse venom is to pump you full of pain killers and muscle relaxants, and just wait for bits to drop off. Even then, the muscle cramps are quite severe and iirc the venom isn't totally negated.

Have to love spiders, they don't mess about.

Everyone put on a pair of 3d glasses, and click the LINKEH!

This one's friendly, until it does this:



Awww, he's sleeping  <3

[Necrosis]

Haha I love that animated image, caught me by surprise, I'm sure the rest of them will love it.

Reactions to the black widow’s venom include increased body temperature and blood pressure, profuse sweating, dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, and pain and swelling around the bite. Nasty bit of venom there, good that you don't react severely to it.

<--random spider pic.
What a beaut'.
