I'm deathly afraid of spiders but after taking lsd one time I started feeling bad about killing them needlessly, so I try to let them be unless they're in my Green Zones (bed, couch, toilet and shower). I have explained the rules to them.

Mega Comrade posted:I was confused by "put up webs" part for a moment there. Seems the USA and UK use the term "daddy long legs" to mean completely different things. Tiggum is I believe Australian, where the name is used for a super spindly spider that's completely harmless to humans, but tends to prey on other spiders. I think the name is also used in the US, but I also see that they're called 'cellar spiders'. They are prodigious web-spinners, though they tend to just stick to corners of ceilings.

I believe the ones in the US don’t spin webs or aren’t considered true spiders or something. I don’t know if we have a common name for those big clumsy mosquito looking things.

Henchman of Santa posted:I believe the ones in the US don’t spin webs or aren’t considered true spiders or something. I don’t know if we have a common name for those big clumsy mosquito looking things. In the US and Canada the term is often used for harvestmen, non-spider arachnids from the order Opiliones. They don't produce silk or venom. Where I'm from we call crane flies "mosquito catchers." Other places tend to have a variant of that.

The standard UK daddy-long legs has some extremely toxic venom however their weak little bites mean they can never harm us.

We only use daddy long legs to refer to harvestmen in my region of the US, and cellar spiders are just cellar spiders. I am well aware, however, that cellar spiders have an equally legitimate claim to the title

Rondette posted:The standard UK daddy-long legs has some extremely toxic venom however their weak little bites mean they can never harm us. Wikipedia posted:An urban legend claims that the harvestman is the most venomous animal in the world, but possesses fangs too short or a mouth too round and small to bite a human, rendering it harmless (the same myth applies to Pholcus phalangioides and the cranefly, which are both also called a "daddy longlegs"). This is untrue on several counts. None of the known species of harvestmen has venom glands; their chelicerae are not hollowed fangs but grasping claws that are typically very small and not strong enough to break human skin. We say the same thing here though. I think we associate the “fact” with the name, therefore anything called daddy long legs is the most venomous, regardless or species, order, phylum, kingdom E: gently caress, double post. I am such a fool.

Which are not harvest men or celler spiders, but the same urban myth had traveled across the Atlantic over to here to the UK about our daddy long legs. Which aren't even spiders but crane flies. Someone else mentioned the term "mosquito catchers" too for the craned flies but they don't eat mosquitoes as all. My guess is Internet makes you stupid?

Flashback to last semester when a prof of mine had to send out two, two separate emails after lecture full of resources explaining that spiders don't, generally, bite people, and no there are no brown recluses in Canada I don't care what your cousin said, because people would not stop arguing with the PhD about spiders being bitey monsters. One of the sources he linked had arguing comments, with someone claiming that spiders will feast on your blood while you sleep, leaving trails of bites in a line as they feed. Buddy, no, that's not spiders. That's bedbugs. I've been picking up and relocating spiders with my bare hands for thirty odd years, and have never been bitten. I don't like to kill spiders. They are good friends. Yesterday I killed an earwig, though, because it jumped out at me during a lab quiz. It was hiding in the seed pod I was dissecting.

Yeah, they might not generally bite, but have one spider bite you in the dick and let me tell you, you won’t ever trust them again.

Oh! oh! are we talking daddy long-legs? Y'all check out the nest (swarm? hairball? dance party?) I found last year on a camping trip: https://www.instagram.com/p/BzO0dnIFaDN/?igshid=1xjnuwy7ri7y6 Like what is even happening here Eta: if you enjoy the myth about them being extremely venomous but having fangs too small to bite, that does pretty much apply to coral snakes. I understand they have a lot of trouble biting through clothes (and are so non-aggressive they probably won't even try) but the venom is extremely dangerous. I've also been told there's no antivenin for them in America because the bites are so rare, not sure about that though artsy fartsy has a new favorite as of 18:52 on Sep 24, 2020 |

Next time I have an 8 legged hell beast in my apartment I will call you to remove it. I never used to care much about spiders than something called a Red Spider bit the underside of my foot when I was in 4th grade and I couldn't walk at all that day and now I hate all spiders.

Spiders that mind their own business or approach me in a peaceful manner I generally leave alone or peacefully relocated. But if they drop from the ceiling right in front of my face my finely tuned survival instincts take over and I’m sorry that it has to end this way.
