Re: [RC] attack of the killer horse flies - Suzi Maiorisi

Ewwww...in South Texas we have these brown striped humongo spiders that run faster than I can.  Even got a GREAT picture of one on the porch - ok, YES, I have many bug pictures...can't help myself when I find a new one - that it took seeing the picture on my computer screen to figure out what it was.  She was carrying all 900,000 of her tiny babies on her back so she looked HUGE!  They get to be about 3-4" including legs.  In Hawaii we had Cane field spiders...OMG - woke up to nurse one of my children at 3 am and found one of them on the patio doors - that bugger was bigger than my baby!  He had something like an 8-10" leg span...disgusting, and when you try to kill them the come AT you, they don't run away!!  LOL! 
Happy Hunting,
Suzi
