a few weeks ago, Hubby and I bought an old Creepy crawler set on ebay and played with it one Sunday, LMAO They are fun for big people too !!! Eve

I have tried drowning spiders in the pool and it takes a loooong time for them to die. I've even held one under for 10 minutes and it still lived. However, it did die when my shoe fell on it. he,he. Where is that saying from? Never heard of it, but I don't think that we have wolf spiders in FL either. Aren't they poisonious? Are you keeping him for a pet or what?

Unless killed with kleenex, shoe, or lizard. No really, is that the same kind that lives in North America? By the way, ALL spiders are venomous. I do not think they are capable of harming humans though. (At least the one that live in Oklahoma.)

PS. Jason, havent you ever heard of... THE UNDEAD? A dead spider can't come back to life. (unless you give it an electrical shock, start all of it nerve endings back up, and hire someone who knows how to bring a spider back to life. And I'm guessing thats more than you are willing to do.) Maybe it was a hybred fish spider. LOL

Lots of them will do you harm but only black widows & brown recluses are known to kill. Spider bites can be pretty nasty though. I think wolf spiders have a pretty bad bite. Depending on what kind of spider, it can leave a little welt & make you pretty sick for a while.

aren't as bad as everyone makes them out to be..in fact the only people ever recorded as dying from black widow bites have been small children or adult with a prexisting condition...and btw i also heard that female wolf spiders are the sex that bites most.. there has been only one record in america where a human was bit by a male wolf spider and they are not life threating but give one nasty bite...and as far as spiders living in the water..yes it happens all the time....in fact when i was about nine i was sliding off a slide into a lake and when i went back on the dock i had a huge water spider on my leg ..i flicked it off and it formed a bubble around itself and floated away.... but that was a water spider.. i have had other nasty critters fall into the bath before and crawled away after i drained the tub..i really have no problem with bugs or spiders but the thing that creeps me out is huge nightcrawlers.. ahh...i'm not into spiders but i just saw a documentary about them yesterday so now i know all these cool things about spiders..and scorpions, and ants

Are the only ones I like. I think that many people get bit by spiders and don't have enough of a reaction to get medical aid, therefore the only few that are reported are probably from people who are allergic to them. I have not heard that about black widows, but I do not think I would experiment. I have never been bitten by a spider, (at least not that I know of,) so I don't know how bad a wolf spiders bite is. (I know its probably worse than its bark.) But they are not listed as dangerous, at least I don't think they are, and I have not found a wolf spider hovering over a dead lizard yet.

If you get bitten by a Harvestman, make funeral arrangements. They are the most deadly spider in the world. There is only one thing standing between them and us. They cannot get their teeth over our skin. However, they may be able to bite lizards, so I would not use them as feeders.

The family Phalangiidae, a part of the opilionids or harvestmen, are of a different order than spiders and have no venom glands at all. Urban legend city.

they are a type of daddy long leg.. they eat both plant and insect manner...such as alfalfa, potatoes, and apples as well as catapillars, mites and slugs, decay matter, dead insects and earthworms.. i believe they have a small amount of venom but that are incapable of biting us as well as spinning a web...
