Re: It's That Time of Year Again! Arachnids!

It's funny how I've held a tarantula in my hand and been quite ok with it yet I see a spider , yell at the top of my voice , jump and run like a baby and grab the spider catcher , catch him holding it at arms length , throw him out the bedroom window then slam it shut

I wish with all my heart I could just gently bend down and scoop it into my hand and Pop him outside with soothing words

Must have been a spider eating bird rather than a bird eating spider.

They do - if you take them out of their green spiky cases and puncture a hole in them to let their scent out!
