Kill it ! Just...Kill it ! If you make a run-for-it it won't say: " Awww shit...i scared him...i better just get out of here..." it will stay where it is. Kill it before it hides somewhere or maybe make baby spiders. Any way you can...Kill it ! Thore a pillow on it and jump on the pillow to be sure that it's perfectly squashed.
I'm told that the larger the spider is, the less potent its venom will be, with a few "regrettable exceptions". Of course, knowing my luck, every massive spider I encounter is a "regrettable exception" and if it's bright blue that's usually nature's way of saying "come at me, bro!" So, flee! Flee to the hills!
That rule actually applies more to scorpions than spiders, but it is true that larger spiders USUALLY do not have very potent venom.TheMadTypist said:
My pet tarantula would actually just swallow crickets alive instead of trying to poison it.
I don't remember very accurately but I believe tunnel web spiders are blue. And they build tunnel-shaped webs. And they're one of the few deadly ones.
I imagine I'd quickly find myself across the street, hysterically trying to explain my problem to a confused neighbor. I will hope they have the sense to catch it for scientific study.
I will also be deathly afraid of my home for the next couple months... and if another one turns up? Yeah, someone send my stuff, I ain't comin' back.

I'd throw shit at it. As offerings of course. I wouldn't want to piss off an abnormally sized and neon colored creature.
But honestly, I'd preform an Ezio styled leap of faith out of the nearest window. No way that bastard is getting close to me!

For the love of god please let that image be fake. Otherwise I picture no sleep or trips to Australia in my near future.kalt_13 said:
Massive spiders? thats normal down here. the blue bit tho... thats new. I would probably sit on the other side of the room and watch it. If it came for me tho, if I'm wearing boots I'll kill it, if (more likely)I'm not I would run like a little girl.
OT: I'm absolutely terrified of the things so I'd probably take a picture or two of it, attempt to catch it and if it started exhibiting super spider powers...I'd run, far away. This topic has all ready given me chills and nightmares.
Take a picture, then scream at the top of my lungs. I hate spiders. Even small ones.
Thank God I'm no where near NSW and Queensland. If I saw a funnel web again, I'd die.

Hmmm... size of a football you say? And bright blue? Well, I'd just stare it right in the 8 beady eyes and do the logical and sane thing: Run! Run and scream like a little girl. Those fuckers are fast, and I bet it can jump too... like 20 times it's size. I wouldn't be surprised if it can throw urticating hairs at you like a new world tarantula. Only that size a spider they would be less "urticating" and more "impaling"
So yes. Run like a little girl. Only faster.
