Autigers71 0 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 OK, so other than a big SOB what kind of spider is this. I live out in the country and am use to seeing some pretty good size spiders, but this one takes the cake. This is the 2nd one we have killed in 2 weeks. This one was on the back deck and the other one was in our basement. I know some really educated person on here will know. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,389 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 A nasty looking feller. I hope you killed it with fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autigers71 0 Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 it took a whole can of wasp/hornet killer to slow him down. Then I hosed him with lighter fluid and that killed him. Then I took the pic and poured more lighter fluid on him and lit him on fire on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUpocalypse 12 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I'm almost positive that is a 'Brown Spider' aka 'Grass Spider'.... Hard to tell for sure since you cooked it (creepy, but not poisonous) *Did it look like this b*&^tar^ beforehand? http://nathistoc.bio.uci.edu/spiders/Agelenopsis.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsixfive 328 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Search for - trap door spider and see what you think, they can be jet black and pretty large. That's what it looks like to me. I had them around my trailer in Auburn occasionally. I beat one hanging out on the side of my trailer with a rake one time. The son of a gun wouldn't die. It took multiple swings before even showing a hint of injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banditmwp 713 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Y'all wouldn't like me. Unless my wife harps on it, or it's the occasional black widow, I let spiders live...I catch 'em and put 'em outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfspiders are the reason I despise spiders to the extent I do. Don't ever step on one. What is the big deal about wolf spiders and stepping on them? I've heard that before but no one has ever explained to me the "drawbacks" or "consequences" of said action...is it because the mothers carry the babies on their belly? I put a wolf spider the size of a golf ball outside the other night. Caught it in a tupperware bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
