...damn thing was bigger than my freaking hand, which you can't really see in the pic, but when it started walking down the wall it was HUGE.
I'm usually a live and let live kind a guy with most insects, pick up most and shuffle them outside. And Japanese spiders - OUTSIDE - are pretty cool actually, but this guy was too big to wrangle, and to paraphrase Joe Rogan in his latest comedy special - "You are in the wrong place, so you have to die!"
The insecticide I sprayed on it only seemed to bore it, so I had to crush it with a book. A hardcover of Sun Tzu's The Art of War, appropriately enough.
I'm all paranoid now, scanning the apartment to see if he left any family around... *shudder*
AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!! That's just freaky.
ReplyDeleteI will regale you with my own insect/arachnoid exploits.

I feel your pain. My only question...did it explode is a spray of goo?
It did indeed.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've had one or two cockroaches over the last four years, and I've seen a bunch of those big spiders outside with their webs and whatnot, but this was the first one I ever saw *IN* the house. And I think it was a different species too...
