Spider eyes...............

[Stringbender]

Ok I am in the yard checking out my new LED flashlight which is badass I might add. I see what looks like dew but it's too early for that and then the dew moves. I go looking and there are hundreds of spiders in my yard who can't help but look at this new light. Awesome discovery, anyone else noticed these?

Thats pretty cool. I've never seen that before but now I will have to try it.

PS. I freakin hate spiders, but as long as they are in the yard not the house I'm good.

Somebody has seen Arachnophobia one time too many...

I've seen spider eyes before. The scarier one is when you think it's a spider...and learn it's a scorpion.

I wouldn't be liking the scorpions at all. Never seen any down this far south thank goodness!

Come up here to the NW side of Atlanta...and I can show you plenty of them. The area where I live must be a on Southern Devil scorpion bed. They are all over the place around here. They usually aren't a problem (their sting is about like a bee sting), but when the adjacent neighborhoods were still under construction - man, I had to check my shoes every morning to make sure they were 'inhabited' before I put them on.

Last week the wife and I were coming home at around ten and as I pulled in the driveway she screamed, "Look at that!" A spider had built an orb web that spanned from our bushes to an old oak tree 10 feet away and then off to the house which was a good 40 feet away. It was the biggest damn web I have ever seen and must have gone from the ground to 15 feet into the air with no more than a half inch between each spiral of the web. I got out of the car and walked up to it and there was a grey spider about the size of a quarter in the middle of it. I blew on the web, and when I did the spider jumped up and down shaking the entire web and the weird thing was I could actually hear the web moving. We left the web undisturbed, and the next morning it was gone.


I have looked for it every night since, but have yet to see it again. It was by far the craziest web I have ever seen.

Yep, I learned that trick as a kid. Hold a flash light to where the base of it is touching the tip of your nose with the beam facing forward. It will illuminate any and every spider for a long way.
