re: OT : Spiders in Georgia, specifically the whore spider

Thanks, with motion the spider is much easier to see



I did not poop bricks tho as that was not that scary.

Not the best day for the cricket tho.



The one that would bother me is the bird spider in South America. Being big and poisonous is bad enough but to further mess with you they have hair that is a major irritant.

Puppy sized spider in the South American Goliath Bird Eater.

To protect itself, the spider rubs its hind legs against its abdomen to release microscopic hairs with barbs.
