There are places in AZ where they live in the cliffs above backroads. When the rains come through, they fall off and end up on the road below...thousands of them! It's quite a sight.Dave Siciliano said:I had a neighbor that was a taxidermist when in Army flight school in Mineral Wells, Texas. He was always lookin for critters of every kind. Found a lot of rattle snakes on roads at night. One night we kept seeing lots of little reflections on the road. He told me it was tarantula mating season and we were catching their eyes in the headlights. Didn't believe him until we stopped and watched a couple slowly amble across the road. Ignorance was blessed before that night!!
Best,
Dave

HPNFlyGirl said:Dave, YUCK!!!!! Did you kill that spider?
A long time ago my employer told me if I see a Black Widow to go out of my way to kill it. Since I ran the warehouse and the warehouse was a good place for Black Widows I went out of my way a lot.Let'sgoflying! said:I usually only annihilate things that pose a real health risk to us... this spider was jes mindin' his own bidnes - and they aren't "attack spiders" or anything!
Now, a rattlesnake at my front door.... I would feel absolutely awful if I ignored it, and then a guest was bitten the next day - so they get dispatched. Some spiders (black widows, brn recluse) and scorpions are the same: no mercy, sorry - too much risk.
We've had people killed or seriously injured by these guys.
The tarantula was relocated, they are pretty nice.

Sounds like your basic Saturday night in Miami, to me...Dave Krall CFII said:The Yamomato men returning from hunting will bring good sized spiders enclosed alive in a leaf woven basket for their most special women, who enthusiasticly broil them briefly (just to get the hair off) before munching down their epicurian delight with smiles indicative not only of the taste and textural combination of crunchiness AND creaminess but also in anticipation of their "gratuities" to follow.

Any takers ?

Dave Krall CFII said:I take it that is a 'no' ?
Carol said:Very astute observation.
For starters, they know what spiders taste like and I don't! I intend to keep it that way!!!Dave Krall CFII said:I wonder what the Yamomato women know that we don't ?
