Largest Web-Spinning Spider Discovered (BEWARE! Pic inside!)

[Vanilla Bear]

Damn what a huge thing!! (Hmm...could be the first time this sentence is not used sex-related on a porn board)

About the size of a standard CD, a newly described spider is now considered the largest in a class of web-spinners.

(...)

The oversized dimensions — a body length of 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) and a leg span of 4 to 5 inches (10 to 12 cm) — describe the females of N. komaci only. The males, which are considered normal-size spiders, are on average five times smaller.

I don't know why I clicked this.

Unless they're poisonous, spiders don't scare me. Except for the ones in the original Resident Evil, those ones scared the living shit out of me when I was little.

 

[Facetious]

They should have called it a 7 legged spider ! :1orglaugh

I know, I know, spiders molt and grow new legs where necessary.


"The female is 5 times larger ?" :eek:
Fellas, how 'bout it ? wouldn't that be cool if your 'ol lady was the size of a '59 Cadillac ?
well, that might be a stretch .... a horse maybe ?

So how do you know if they are poisonous? Can you recognize and name spiders on sight?

 

[PretoDragao]

Black Widow and Brown Recluse are the big ones in my area and I know what they look like on sight. If I don't know what they are, I will be cautious when dealing with them. I won't run around screaming and jumping up and down.

:rofl:ROFL! I didn't mean for her name to pop up. I meant the spider.
