Re: Spiders and Snakes and Scorpions in Florida, OH MY!!!...
Hi Gordon,
Thanks for mentioning The Brown Recluse Spider. SCARY Little Creatures, to say the least. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_recluse_spider Pretty GROSS Pics here with possible Brown Recluse Spider Bites: (Warning: Do NOT Click this link if You are Squeemish with Graphic Pics such as Wounds and Rotting Flesh,) http://www.snopes.com/photos/bugs/brownrecluse.asp (snopes says that the status is undertermined.) Here is one of the most SCARIEST Spiders (next to the Recluse) that I've encountered: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:W...er_florida.jpg These buggers Actually CHASE YOU! Yep, I've been chased by one about 10 years ago and will NEVER forget the experience. Wife STILL teases Me about the time I threw a shoe at one that was across the room in the house and There was NO WAY that I was going to get close to it to get rid of it... This happened about a few weeks AFTER I got chased by it, before SHE noticed the spider in the house... One more that was SCARY is the Banana Spider. They don't chase You and they are quite peaceful for a Spider, but they are HUGE!!! They are literally the size of an average man's hand! (You can read about some of it here: http://www.city-data.com/forum/flori...e-no-pics.html) There was a 'swarm' or 'rash' of Banana Spiders (again, about 10 years ago) in a certain area where I used to live. I was mowing the lawn one day and walked into one of its webs. It was crawling on My leg! I TOTALLY Freaked Out!!! HUGE Spider... Thing was bigger than LIFE! ... anyway, I was lucky enough to have been able to just 'swat' the thing off of My leg... It looked similar to this: http://www.whatsthatbug.com/images/golden_silk_sara.jpg I won't even get into the Scorpions... haha Hope that You're feeling MUCH BETTER and Hope that when You make Your next 'Snow Bird' trip down here in the Winter, You'll stop by this area and let Me buy You a cheeseburger! (Without the Spiders, of course... HA!) Christopher Quote:
