After seeing the spider at this angle, I recall seeing one of these hanging in a freshly spun web on my front porch last year. My wife got up and opened the front window shade and nearly shat herself screaming.
I whacked it with a shovel. No way was I getting anywhere near that huge ass spider.
on a mountain bike ride yesterday I saw a tarantula wasp take down a 8" tarantula ...
friggin ripped its legs clean off then started suckin the juice right out...
some crazy discovery TV shit right there man......

I've got a breeding pair of some HUGE spiders around the lights of the porch. I turn the lights on regularly to attract more din din for them 
We see eggs all the time, but the big ass momma/daddy spiders chase the other ones off I suppose so we don't have them all over the place.
No bug zapper needed.
Now I'm starting to question things.... those damn things could invade the house.

Dude! WTF. You made me google what a tarantula wasp is, and I cant believe this horrific story I found:
Females who are ready to lay eggs is on the lookout for a tarantula. They
often disturb the web near a tarantulas burrow, and when the tarantula rushes out the wasp stings the spider and injects venom.
Now this is where it gets weird. Instead of killing the tarantula, the venom only causes paralysis. The wasp then drags the tarantula to a burrow, stuffs it down the hole, and then lays her eggs on top of the paralyzed spider. Several days later the eggs hatch, and the larvae feed on the still living tarantula.
Thanks for the nightmares man!

He is - THE CACTUS!
That there's something out there that feeds on Tarantulas is pretty shit scary.
What happened to our last spider thread actually? The one with the camel spiders form Iraq?
In the meantime, here's the short film I posted in it.

Yeah, and I had to Wiki it as well...
"The sting, particularly of Pepsis formosa, is among the most painful of any insect, but the intense pain only lasts for 3 minutes.[2] Commenting on his own experience, one researcher described the pain as "…immediate, excruciating pain that simply shuts down one's ability to do anything, except, perhaps, scream. Mental discipline simply does not work in these situations."[3] In terms of scale, the wasp's sting is rated near the top of the Schmidt Sting Pain Index, second only to that of the bullet ant and is described by Schmidt as "blinding, fierce [and] shockingly electric".[4]
Sounds like fun.

Kidding me! I killed one last week with a paper towel. I grabbed it and squeezed it thinking it was dead then walked into the bathroom to flush and the bastard started flapping his wings (super load too) .... I just remember thinking "Why won't you die?"
I had no clue they were so painful - I would've used the aforementioned shovel on that one too.
LOL. Who needs the Nature Channel.
a WIKI of the Bullet Ant, which causes the worst pain imaginable:
The pain caused by this insect's sting is purported to be greater than that of any other Hymenopteran, and is ranked as the most painful according to the Schmidt Sting Pain Index. It is described as causing "waves of burning, throbbing, all-consuming pain that continues unabated for up to 24 hours". In some indigenous communities, to enter manhood, a boy has to endure being stung by the ant 20 times without screaming.

Suggest we place a couple in AdExhibitJason's pants at next show. lol
