It's raining spiders!

Not small ones either:

WARNING: If you're arachnopobic, this is a view of hell.

Is everyone arachnophobic or have our tastes advanced so far that a rain of spiders is too pedestrian?

I'm itchy as berkeley right now.

Meh...

I was expecting Fiats

This actually makes me reinterpret the gesture in your avatar... Kinda looks like Jackie's doing a "What the berkeleying... spiders!?"

Gah! Armageddon!! (runs away to set self on fire......)

Rad.

I see hours upon hours worth of fun with a decently powerful pellet gun

In reply to colaboy:

The little ones don't bother me much, but in quantities like this? I wouldn't leak the berkeleying house! And those aren't little spiders...

I have seen worse in spiders. Near here, under a bridge that crosses the intercoastal waterway. They set up several portapotties for the fishermen. Last time I was there, I had to go so I stopped.. and could not get near the portapotties. They were literally covered in spiderwebs to the point that you could not see light between them. You could have thrown a small adult in there and they would have gotten stuck.

and it's really really creepy to get stared at as a potential meal by a few million beady eyes

In before "Kill them with fire!"

You gotta take pics if you get a chance!

I will wait till late spring/summer. Not too many spiders out this time of year
