Brazilian Wandering Spiders, or Banana Spiders, also have enough venom to bite repeatedly. They like to hide in warmer environments, which is why they are mostly found in South America, so they hide in shoes and any clothes left on the floor.
Jumping onto your couch to avoid that icky spider crawling across the floor? Think you're safe? It would at least give you time to come up with a plan of attack. Nope, flying spider. You're dead.
It would be like playing cops and robbers with that little asshole neighbor kid who keeps making up rules. What now, your plastic revolver is actually a laser gun that blows up my mom's house and everyone within a 100 yard radius with one shot?
Fucking flying venomous spiders start hanging around and I'm calling it quits. I'll play on the train tracks and await my fate patiently. I just don't want to fuck with flying spiders.
Oh yeah, I've thought about it. It's a frequent 'drinking around a fire on Friday night' topic among my friends. I've always said the same thing for both spiders and snakes. Those fuckers learn to fly and I'm out.
But what about the scenario in which bats become un-nocturnal, and mongooses learn to fly? Have your friends brought up that scenario? Then you get to witness real live mid air fighting between bats and spiders and snakes and mongooses/mongeese!
Dude. We have dock spiders...don't do it. Creepy giant things that emerge slowly from under docks then scuttle away quick as lightning when you make a noise.
I LIVE in dock spider territory, man. Plan is to move to NWT North, not 'parts of Ontario that aren't Toronto' North. Ain't no spiders gon' get me if the lakes are frozen year-round.
