Spider Bite Leaves SpaceTiger Fading Fast

In summary: But most importantly, this spider decided to feast on my elbow last night:Broad-Faced Sac Spider Nice looking spider. I see them here periodically and I have to escort them outside if other family members notice them.The conversation is about spiders and other bugs, with some joking and personal anecdotes involved. One person shares a link about a specific type of spider, while another discusses their fear of spiders and their methods for safely removing them from their home. In summary, the conversation revolves around different reactions to spiders and insects and how to handle them.

The glass-tumbler method is the method my college roomates and I used to catch roaches in our house. We would then deliver them a few doors down and deposit them outside the house that had loud parties involving hideous music choices.

Our best moment was when I caught two going at it in our hallway (making catching BOTH of these top priority)... let them stare at each other for a few days from under separate tumblers...(yeah, you WANT to be under the glass don't you, you horny little insects)... then, after our amusement with this torture faded, slipping them in the same glass for delivery to the party house.

:smile: Wow, you're a devious one! :biggrin: That's the best retribution for loud parties keeping you up all night I've ever heard! :smile:

Danger-danger! No wonder you're "Danger"! WD-40 and a lighter!

I have a VERY vivid memory of my big-brother doing the exact same thing to a large black widow-like thing in our garage when I was a wee little one.

Apparently she was. We've been dating for a month and a half now. :biggrin:
Oh, I forgot...congrats! (I was distracted by the thought of trapping cockroaches with a tumbler. )

Hey, that's the same way I met my very first boyfriend, way back in Kindergarten! He showed me his collection of dead bugs (I think they were supposed to be alive in the plastic little bug house thing he had) and then I helped him catch a fly to add to the collection. :biggrin: Then we decided we would be boyfriend and girlfriend and get married (I had much better luck at getting proposals when I was young :smile:). He's the same kid who got me in trouble in first grade...he brought in a big rubber spider, and gave it to me, and then I promptly put it on the chair of one of the other girls who started screaming when she saw it. I just didn't understand why I got in trouble because she screamed so much over a rubber spider. :rolleyes:

We won't forget you ST, we'll sticky a Space Tiger Memorial thread in Astronomy.
Does the spider bite still hurt? We're you romping through the hay last night?
This was the consequence of spending night with a Black Widow :smile:

Wow. Physics girl phd was a really strange person. Is she still around?

I once tried breeding cannibalistic roaches, hoping to release them after many generations of nothing to each but each other, but cockroach sex torture is just plain demented.
