thing is it's how you cook em

Yeah, but it's just the idea of cooking and eating a spider (or any bug) is rather off-putting. To me anyway.

I'd say it is just your ordniary Tegenaria Domestica (domestic house spider or barn funnel weaver according to wiki) - though I have to admit I haven't seen one of that size before (the last one was about half as big). They are quite common, but not often seen as they usually lurk in dark corners in basements and wherever. I've seen quite a lot of those things since we moved into this house four years ago.

I would suggest taking a pan and melting some butter in there before putting the spider in. You shouldn't forget to add some spices as they haven't got a strong taste on their own.

They were selling fried spiders once, but I just opted for a rice dessert instead.
They were pretty huge spiders though, like the size of your palm.

Gotta say:
I'm too terrified of spiders to even want to eat them.

my spider senses are tingling

I'm pretty sure that spider was in my nightmare last night.

In this thread: huge babies. Spiders rule.

[Orgasmatron]

i dont like crane flies at all

there is this other equally long-legged flying bug around here thats got like black/white legs and flies awkwardly and looks like it has an odd number of legs


i swear it came right for me!!

[Mr. Popo]

the both of you are babies when it comes to crane flies.

If we were talking about cockroaches on the other hand I can agree with you but crane flies?

[Gorsalami]

I have no fear of any of those insects/arachnids B-)

My only fear weakness fortunately will never creep around my house c:

[Kriven]

I'm just gonna admit to being a baby, because most bugs freak me right the fuck out.

[Koopaul]

The only bugs I hate are the kind that bite you. Then its war!

[StarSock64]

I could look at freaky pictures/videos of bugs all day but put me anywhere near one in real life and nope

There's something about the idea of touching them that I just can't handle. I think it's gotten worse as I've gotten older because of all the paranoia-causing incidents I've had with bugs. Like the time when

as I was about to get the milk, I noticed there was a bunch of moth larvae in my cereal

or when

a centipede crawled on my bed while I was drawing, then climbed under my covers somewhere, and all the other centipede-activities that seem to happen in my room right before I'm about to go to bed

Uh-huh. I think some bugs are pretty cool but I wouldn't dream of touching them with my hands because of the germs and bacteria they host, and also because of bites/stings. Or if they're moths, scales.
