I live in an older building (built in the late 1800s) and the basement is unfinished. Open floor joists in the ceiling. Walls made of mortared stone. Uninsulated.

So, it's getting to that time of the year when the basement is getting too cool for the little buggers that live down there and they're making their annual migration up into the warmer climes of my living space.

Lots of spiders, but they're mostly what we call 'Daddy Long Legs'. They're harmless, but they still startle me if I see one crawling up the wall beside me or feel one crawling on my leg or something.
 
Spiders are truly icky creatures......so are snakes......
 
If I lived in your building, I'd move out as soon as the migration started.

I'm terrified of anything with fewer than two legs or more than four. And I'm not all that crazy about some critters that have between two and four legs.
 
Spiders, and Spiders, and Spiders! Oh, My!

Honestly, spiders freak me out..........but don't they keep the other mites a bay..........
 
That's not as bad as one place where I lived. There was a similar migration of spiders, yes, but that was nothing compared with the concurrent centipede migration.

To everyone who is creeped out by spiders, imagine if they were twice to three times as long, had tones of creepy crunchy legs, and could dart across the room at over a foot a second, not to mention that when they run that fast, their legs' traction decrease such that they may randomly fall from the ceiling (onto you).

I encountered such an infestation, had a mental breakdown, and I literally spent a month on my toes, constantly scanning the ceiling and always ready to kill them as soon as I saw one. I single handedly exterminated an apartment full of centipedes with tissue papers and a hand vac :twisted:

Daddy Long Legs give me a shock for a second, and then i see what they are, smile, and hit the shower water.

I personally think they're perverts, as i seem to ONLY find them in the bathroom.

LOL! Pervy spiders. Whodathunkit?

But I like daddy long legs. They tickle.

The daddy long legs that fly are called Crane flies.

The daddy long legs that look like spiders with long legs arent spiders, they are Opilionids (might be spelt wrong).

Spiders have two parts to their body and 8 legs. Opilionids have one part to their body and also 8 legs. They are both a different species in the same family (or is it genus?).

I learnt this during the epic 'what is a daddy long legs' debate with my uni friends.

Oh, the opilionid in question is the harvestman, which is more poisonous then any spider in the world. But their fangs are too small to pierce human skin. They are often used as pest controll where there may be a large number of poisonous spiders that pose a risk to humans.

Crane flies are NOT spiders, they're related to mosquitos...hence even why they're also called mosquito hawks.

Speaking of spiders... *shudders* They're on the move here, too. Last night when we were grilling steaks, one of these damn things was on the patio! :eek:

After I went screaming into the house like a little girl :rolleyes: I managed pull myself together and went back to the scene with a shovel to smash the damn thing. I learned today that it was a "wolf spider"... Honestly, I don't really care what kind it was... I fuckin' HATE spiders!

*shudders again*

Tomorrow I'll be hosing the entire property down with toxic chemicals to kill all the creepy crawlie thingies. :grrr:

Sorry gsdx but I had to post a picture... :badgrin:
 
spider/homophobic joke:

a little texan girl sees a spider and shrieks and her father comes over and asks what's wrong. The little girl points to the spider and the father says, "it's just a daddy long legs"

the little girl feels better, but then another spider comes along and mounts the other spider as if they were mating. the little girl then asks, "is that a mommy long legs?"

the father says that it's another daddy long legs and the girl considers it for a second and then stomps on both of them and says: "that may be okay in california; but we don't put up with that here"!
 
Spiders are great - enormously beneficial (they eat tons of insects), and aside from a very few species, harmless to humans. If you can get past the fear factor, and look at them closely, they are also amazingly elegant and beautiful animals.

Dear Lord,

Deliver me from evil,

Yea though I walk through the valley of death,

I fear NO evil (except insects (Spiders) and Snakes)..............!!!!!(*8*):kiss:

The harvestman is NOT a spider first of all, and it is NOT dangerous to humans, but it is dangerous to spiders =D

Neither is the crane fly a spider, common folk just think that daddy long legs are spiders.

In the UK, the yokels think they are spiders with wings.

I'll read up on it now, I was probably misinformed by wherever I learnt it.

There was a discussion a year or so ago about this subject. The same insects and arachnids are called by different names on either side of The Pond. It was an interesting discussion as we tried to figure out which bugs were which.
 
Eugh, I fucking HATE spiders - They scare the hell out of me..
TD, that photo actually did make me jump back in my seat !oops!

A couple of years ago whilst I was in bed I heard a noise; Sounding like constant tapping.. I turned my light on and it was a huge spider moving across my wall; had to get my mum to my room and get her to remove it :lol: !oops!

Ahem.
