It is said that a human digests up to 8 spiders a year. OMG! FILTHY CREATURES!

I think that's an urban myth: two or three spiders tops.

Apparently, the story is turning out to be a hoax.

Beetles, moths, insect larvae, etc, now that's another story.

Status: offline 		hey hey Hibbie,

don't forget i live in the uk. so as natural spiders go i think the wolf spider is our biggest. some of them do not fit under a pint glass without having to curl their legs though. but as i also have greek blood in me i reckon that somewhere in my evolution by nuture means that i was programmed to be very scared of spiders.

as for eating them in my sleep.....i'm hoping that an up side of my insomnia is that i eat far less than others lol

Status: offline 		we have only two natives, harmless grass snakes, and then the adder, which is venomous, but nothing major to worry ably unless maybe you are a small dog. we really are lucky on the killie bitie things here. it doesn't stop my fear of the spiders though.

we do have some glow in the dark escapee scorpions in london somewhere too. still tame by most standards though lol

Honestly, I was HORRIFIED to learn there were spiders so big. Such things absoultely MUST have slipped free from some freakish dimension, because they can't possibly exist naturally in my world.
