look who's coming for dinner

Spend 20 days in the field in Missouri or Arkansas and you will learn to hate brown recluses...little buggers look like daddy long legs with fangs. I've got a picture of what happens when a bite is left untreated in my old army gear somewhere...I'll dig it up for you visual types.

Other than Tarantulas, the only good spider is a dead spider, in my book. At least when it comes to in and around my house.

My boss got a brown recluse bite to his thumb a couple of months ago, and I found one in my basement right after that. It is now an ex-spider.

I don't think Hunstsman spiders are particularly jumpy, Alcina, although I have never met one in person!
