Eh, if you look at its size compared to the keyboard its decently sized but not huge. From Ctrl to Enter... maybe a couple inches? I'd probably grab something nearby while keeping my eye on it to capture it and throw it outside.

What is that?

That, my friend, is an African cave dwelling spider. For a real treat, check out the Fear Factor episode with them in it.

for spiders, that IS big.
a spider with over an inch-long and nearly inch wide body is NOT something I'm gonna pet, that's for sure. Nor would I smash it... too many juices.
As much as I hate spiders, something that size would be very beneficial outside, and at the edge of the property. lol

Still wondering what exactly that is, and that's probably what I'd end up doing. Get it into a jar, and then seal it while I looked it up. As much as I hate spiders, and WILL jump away from any within 5ft of me, I also love knowing about spiders and each species, as I like to know which ones to me more afraid of.
That looks like one I might want to be very afraid of, but can't quite tell if it's a very venomous.
Reminds me of funnel web/grass spiders. Most aren't nothing to worry about as far as toxicity, but bites may be painful, especially one of that size.

I know a place where when the temperature and humidity is right, these come out by the thousands. I kid you not, there are so many you can actually hear them scrabble across the rocks heading for your light.

i'd think about putting it in a jar and feeding it a caterpillar that
i found on an ear of corn.

what is that thing ? a baby tarantula ?

i wonder what it tastes like if you cook it and eat it. hmm spider guts.

if you did go the "kill it, kill it route" ... cut off the poisonous fangs,
and saute it in butter with some basil. add 2 eggs and some Jarlsberg
cheese and you dot a Spider Omelette.

food prices are going up. aren't there cultures that eat these things ?

I would scream like a bitch and run as fast as possible in the other direction. After I calmed down... I'd move to another house.

Very nice!

I would get a cup, capture it, freeze it, and pin it up as a trophy to show off. That would help distinguishe real girls from girly girls when they visit and weeds out the undesirables.

Well... I'd probably put it in a jar or something and then figure out some way to kill it. OR, put it in a jar and put it in the garbage and let the garbage guy pick it up and deal with it. YAY

I would clean the gunk off and then spray the dust off and say "sorry pet spidey for having such a nasty keyboard"

I would scream like Ned Flanders then smash it with whatever solid I could grab - probably a textbook

"I LOVE the smell of napalm in the morning! It smells like...VICTORY!"



"OH SHIT!" <Smack with the nearest magazine, newspaper, rolled up printer paper, what the fuck ever I could grab quickly.>
The second "Oh Shit!" would be from looking at the mess the smashed spider guts made out of my almost-new cheapo Microsoft keyboard...
Probably have to just toss it in the trash and go buy a new one...


LOL @ all you Nancy's talking about screaming and running from the room! Grow a pair and kill the fucking thing...it's trespassing in YOUR space! (or if you're the "sensitive" kind, catch it in a cup or whatever and release it outside where it can hunt the neighborhood cats.

I'd need a new keyboard, a new desk, and a new <whatever I used to smash it>. I'd also need a change of pants.
