Wait, you spray the spiders, not the silk?
Weird.

Or die or produce shitty silk. Sounds like a huge crapshoot at this point.
Still cool.

And failure = dead spiders, which I cannot classify as failure. That's win-win right there.

Bah. Â Spiders kill way worse things and they will 99.999999999% of the time, leave you the fuck alone. Â Only certain species are possessed. Â Motherfuckers will charge a full grown human without thinking twice.
One second, it's staring you down twenty feet away. Â Next second...
"'Sup, bitch?"
But hey, there's antivenin for that shit. Here's the most evil stingy bastard on land or sea, followed by two close contenders. Spiders ain't shit.

For me it's the webs. Â Spiders don't bother me too much but touching the webs freak me right the fuck out. Â I go into full-on spasms of uncontrollable idiotic mindless flailing and scream like a little bitch.

I once had to enter the crawl space of the house I grew up in, which was probably 70+ years old, at that time. Had to do some work under the bathroom and it was under some sort of concrete floor and it was all weirdly excavated under there and you couldn't see any daylight holes to the outside, which suggests it was pretty well sealed up under there for a long time.
I saw spiders that had been evolving in that rank, fetid darkness for decades without outside pressures. I saw spiders with 10 and 12 legs. Large, bloated white bodies as big as a walnut. What were they eating down there? No fear of man.
I was probably 12 and I still dream of it, sometimes.

If you have a fear of spiders, I wouldn't suggest wearing one of those head lamps out in the woods (or even outdoors at night). Because the light sits almost right between your eyes, it reflects the light from bugs' eyes right back to you almost perfectly.
I noticed while camping all these glittering green twinkles out in the grass and on the trees. Almost looked like dew. They were spider eyes. Everywhere. They have us surrounded.

Meh. No webs, so that's okay.

QUOTE Blue-ringed octopus is intelligent and docile unless mishandled. Mulga snake, despite not being as venomous, attacks you while you sleep. Thought you might like to know.
True, but...
That snake is deadly because it injects a fuckload of venom, almost triple the amount other snakes will. Even if you're unlucky enough to get a full dose, there is antivenin in existence.
The blues, on the other hand, shoot you with a far smaller amount of liquid death, you're way less likely to notice (a snake biting you will wake you the fuck up), and there is no antivenin.

People don't sleep in the ocean. I mean, unless you count boats.
The blue-ringed kills with respiratory paralysis induced by tetrodotoxin -- you're likely as hell to notice your diaphragm seizing up, but you don't even need antivenin to treat it once you realize, just CPR. Unless you're so stupid that you're diving alone in Australia, you're fine.
