Spider!!

[nakedfrog]

He is our hero!

The first time I saw one of those outside my house, I googled "black and yellow spider" and identified it as harmless in short order. Then I took pics.

Spray paint stripper with the pushbutton drilled out so it shoots a stream - works best. Methylene chloride based stripper will take down divebombing wasps faster than those .50's they used at Pearl against Zeroes. :Q

Just watch the paint down below!

OT - is there any danger of explosion with aerosol cans + flames? I say that it's minimal, because there's no oxygen inside the can. The exploding containers of hairspray that I've heard about in the past were probably pump-action things, which have plenty of good oxygen inside the container.
I ask because I kind of tried making a flamethrower with a can of butane. I got a nice 10-15' flame out of it. No explosion, and the base of the flame was at least 6" from the tip of the can. Fun stuff.

Unless you're being sarcastic, thanks for proving my point.

Hmmm that sounds dangerous. We never advocate doing anything that would put us in harm's path.

Propane gives lots of fire with minimal danger of explosion. It's found behind most stage sets that allow open flames. On a ship this is not allowed - CG projected either via laser systems or high definition projectors along with massive capacitor banks discharging through mercury displacement relays into multi kw banks of filtered tungsten-halogen lamps provides a good substitute. Whenever flames are seen on the set the audience will feel the heat on their faces - just like in real life.

That looks like a huge spider!!

Although they will bite to defend themselves they are harmless, albeit scary. I remember once when my wife had to go bad and there was no where for miles I took in through the woods to go a-natural. I stepped on a bit of weeds and when I let up they sprung back and one of these was trust a few inches from her. I think she went right there.

As much I freak out and squeal like a little girl at most spiders, those yellow and black garden spiders are pretty cool.

I feed and occasionally pet the ones we get on our front porch.

 

[CorCentral]

I agree with you on everything you said but the squealing like a girlie part

I also have Bananna Spiders in my back yard and throw an occasional black cricket in one of the webs. I once saw a small skink (lizard) in one of their webs.
When I lived in FL, the Fkers in the pic below were quick and hunted on the ground and were faster than roaches!!! As fast as a wolf spider and as big around as a tarantula!

Got up one morning to brush my teeth. Opened up the medicine cabinet for the toothpaste and jumped when I saw this thing right in front of me.............


Huntsman Spider

Don't let the pic fool ya'. Spread the fingers on your hand apart, that's HUGE! Giants and Little people excluded
