Re: The spider that ...
Once, when on a trip in San Jose, I drove up into the hills. As I entered one of the parks (in my rental vehicle), I spotted a tarantula in the middle of the road. As I drove over it, I imagined it jumping up onto the car's underside and hitching a ride back to my hotel and terrorizing me like in a B horror flick.
I hate spiders badly.

Will do. We get a lot of other nuisance bugs like japanese beetles (they look like lady bugs but bite pretty hard) too that it'll probably help with.
I'm glad I don't live in Texas.

Re: The spider that ...
My best buddy and I used a tried and tested technique perfected by assault teams in law enforcement and armed forces around the world.
We disoriented and crippled the subject from afar (e.g. flash bang, tear gas grenade) by stomping loudly on the deck and then shooting it with some teratogenic bug killer spray. Then only once it should clear signs of near complete debilitation, did we bother to approach closer than 6 feet and smush it with a long 2x4. 
I am a skeered-of-spiders-sissy.

I lived off a bayou in Texas for a year. OG, everything crawled out of that bayou and they were HUGE versions of anything normal sized.

Spiders are beautiful. Almost as beautiful as praying mantis.

Re: The spider that ...
Now, if you see one of these hanging around...be careful:
 Sydney Funnel Spider
or,
Brazilian Wandering Spider
The Sydney Funnel Spider, often quoted as being the spider with the most dangerous venom. While the Brazilian Wandering Spider, is extremely fast, extremely venomous, and extremely aggressive. These large and dangerous true spiders are ranked among the most venomous spiders known to man.
Happy dreams...
