Fish-Finger-er Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 yea, aparently many house hold spiders have venom that would seriously harm us, but they got no way of injecting it.my only question is, dont we eat an average of 8 spiders a year, my only guess is our stomach acids ruin the venom, or it passes straight through us as it aint in our blood stream. (altho most other poisons are dangerous by ingestion).on a similar note, my cat eats daddy long legs, in the time ive spent with him today, which is probably under an hour, ive seen him eat 4. surely being on a 40 a day habit like this cant be healthy for him(considering hes a wee bit smaller than most humans) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Ive killed 4 tonite already is it just me or are they everywhere this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 your all wrong!!they are called "harvestman" spiders......but actually they are not real spiders as they only have one body segment.Also, they are venomous (all spider thingys are) but they are not in the slightest bit deadly! ALSO, venom has to be injected directly into the blood stream (hence snakes, spiders ect all have fangs). Poison on the other hand can be absorbed though the skin.

adamtrials Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 your all wrong!!they are called "harvestman" spiders......but actually they are not real spiders as they only have one body segment.Harvestmen dont have wings.Daddylong legs's are flies, hence cranefly...It's due to the retarded weather this year that we have such big/ so many insects i'm told.

Fishy Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I've got like 4 flying around my room, piss annoying.Haha, I have this thing that kills flys, looks like a badminton racket, but the mesh has a small electric shock, enough to a wasp. It's f**king ace fun when your bored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Ive killed 4 tonite already is it just me or are they everywhere this year?I think so, rather 'harvestman spiders' than moths though. They just keep flying into your window. The harvestman spiders just fly like their pissed.Basically a spider with the priviledge of wings....a priviledge it doesn't deserve if you ask me.
