If I would see two of those big ones, within one week, I'd probably fumigate the entire house...
if i saw a spider like that (never mind two of them !!!!) i would probably MOVE !!!

oh, and phenomshel : thank you for the warning ! but actually i'm fine with that story, the scorpions seemed mostly absent from it.

I don't mind the spiders too much, except when they descend suddenly on a line of silk DIRECTLY INTO MY FACE. This results in a lot of undignified squealing and flailing on my part. Every once in a while I think that I might want a pet spider (rose-knee tarantula or similar) but I chicken out because I'm afraid of it escaping and freaking out the neighbors.
The arthropods that really give me the willies are the scutigera. I know that they are beneficial and essentially harmless, but I would prefer that they do their work out of my sight!

Actually, I thought the pics of it were quite cute, in a 70s fringe kind of way. I know I'd react rather differently if I found one in the house though!

My first dog (Goldie) was going to be a beagle, but ended up being a bitza instead. I've always liked beagles though.

My first thought on seeing it was: "KILL IT, KILL IT, KILL IT!!!!" And I like bugs.

In case anyone wants to know, it's a relative of the centipede (the scary one they keep locked in the basement).
