Weird Crab Spider

heck, if I saw a spider like that (outside my house) I would let it live.

I would be more concerned about it letting ME live

It's one of those evil turtles from the Mario Brothers game. To get rid of it, jump up and hit your head on that gold brick, and then eat the mushroom that magically appears - you will double in size, whereupon all you need do is jump up and down on the Evil Turtle-Spider you found and I assure you he will be as dead as a doornail.

Seriously now - take him outside and let him go.

I was thinking the same thing he does look like one of those evil turtles from Super Mario.
 
Yeah I read somewhere that the scientific name is something like Superii Marius Brotheria, and the sub species is like 'Turtleum' I think :D
 
You guys just reminded me. I promised my son we'd torch some bugs this afternoon! He's never done it before! But, still, I would never hurt such an amazing looking spider.

Isn't that a little like genocide or ethnic cleansing or something?

Ugly bugs...DIE!!

Pretty bug... live to build the Master Race

i see no reason for killing spiders. they eat other bugs so aren't horrible to have around and if they're not poisonous nothing to worry about. they don't even bother humans so its not a problem.

any type of 'roach' though, goes.

Aesthetically... um... frightening
Think of the poor terrified children :eek:

Functionally... the webs can be a nuisance

My kids love spiders. They won't let them live in the house though. I want them to live because they eat other bugs.

Yeah, some bugs are allowed to live around my house and others are not. Totally based on looks. Don't know what we'll torch. I hate roaches with a passion, so we would get them, but, thankfully, there are none around my house.

Lubing it to death sounds good. Does that mean we can preserve it and put it in a shadow box?

Luckily, I have not had the pleasure of experiencing that phenomenon.

I hate cock-a-roaches! :) <Spoken in my best Tony Montana accent.>
 
I'd love to find out what type of spiders were in my folks place in Poland. They look like harvestmen but are smaller and with slightly thicker legs, and hang upside down on their webs. Odd things they were. But I don't like them so I won't be looking on websites :eek:

Hate the buggers. And thats one of the maddest looking spiders I've seen OP :D
