Maybe some people think it's a little weird that you start a thread about something that was being still talked about only a couple of days ago and use the exact same pic aswell.

omfg. ewwwww i dont even wanna imagine that shit in my tent., my undies would be packed.

i want one

Seriously, I'd be more worried about one of these. The Brazilian Wandering Spider also known the Banana Spider.

Quote: Speedy and unpredictable, several large Ctenid species will readily attack if surprised or provoked. Reports of people getting 'chased' by these spiders are not uncommon. Such aggressive disposition, combined with extremely toxic venom and a propensity to 'wander' into human habitation, may arguably qualify some Ctenids as the world's most dangerous spiders.

And also this clipping from a newsclipping in Canada

Quote: World's Deadliest Spider Hiding In Our Bananas (January 26/2002) A Comox Valley Super-Value Store produce employee recently stumbled upon a frightening sight when he found a three inch Brazilian Wandering Spider (Phoneutria fera) in a box of bananas. He kept the spider in a jar for a few days under a heat lamp until it became extremely aggressive. He then made the decision to kill it. The situation could easily have turned deadly if it weren't for the awareness, and quick response of the man. Unsuspecting shoppers could have been bitten while handling the bananas. Other food stores in the area were notified to be on the lookout for spiders in their shipments, and to use great caution in handling imported foods.The store said it did not want pubicity over this incident for fears it would harm business. According to the Guinness Book of Records the worlds most venomous spider is the Brazilian Wandering Spider. This spider is believed to have the most active neurotoxic venom of any living spider. Its venom is so potent that only 0.006mg (0.00000021oz) is sufficient to kill a mouse. The Brazilian Wandering Spider is very fast, extremely venomous, nervous, and aggressive. This large and dangerous spider is grows to five inches long, and is ranked among the most venomous spiders known to man. This Spider is often referred to as the "Banana Spider" because there have been cases where these spiders unintentionally appeared on banana boats heading for the United States from tropical, and subtropical regions of South America.Tarantulas are commonly found during banana inspections. This is not the first time deadly spiders have made it across Canadian borders from tropical regions,a and may occur more often than realized. The problem arises when some of these spiders manage to go unnoticed and begin weaving their webs in our unsuspecting neighborhoods.They can breed and proliferate until they cannot be controlled.

Did I mention that I don't like bananas?

i thought the black widow was ranked sumtin?

Although it can be deadly, and was ranked the most venemous in the late 70's, it's no way near the most dangerous that we know of these days. The Brazilian Wandering Spider has the most dangerous venom, is very aggressive, and often comes in contact with people as it will hide in clothing and shoes. It only injects a full amount of venom in a third of its bites with another third only being a partial injection. However the male Sydney Funnel Web Spider (the males being more venemous than the females in this case) always injects the full dose of venom into each and every bite. This makes some people believe that it is more dangerous because of this. It also has fangs that are strong enough to peirce bone. The strange thing is with the Funnel Web (if I remember correctly) is that the venom is the most effective when used against the primates and humans. Makes you wonder why we've been singled out.

man i need to play some arachnophobia (old skool C64 game).. so i can get one back on those 8 legged bastards..

I though the daddy longlegs was the most venomous spider in the world and they harmless to us because their teeth are too small and break on human skin.

Im not flaming but spiders dont have teeth they have fangs

Yeh the daddy long legs are the most poisonis spiders but have small fangs.

^^True. Daddy Longlegs could do some damage if it could pierce skin, but it cant. The white tail eats these spiders and digests the venom, which inturn makes them venomous themselves.

This is just an old wives tale, Daddy Long Leg Spiders are no more venomous than you or me my wiley friend

Nah not true - It came to be as there is a similar looking spider that builds similar webs found in a few African crountries that is considerably venemous. Can't remember the name of it but it does belong to the same family as the Brown Recluse Spider.

As for the White Tails, its the bacteria (apparently) in the venom that causes the necrosis of the flesh. As for them eatting Daddy Long Legs I don't know though I have seen a White Tail all wrapped up in a Daddy Long Legs webs before (dead and partially digested)

I almost got bitten by one of those when I was in Aussie long time ago,I was walking towards the car when out of the ground this big arse spider jumps out but I must have sacred the shit out of it or I was too big to eat but anyway it poped back into it's hole faster then it came out and I only found out what kind of spider it was when someone once discribed those spiders to me.
