Hobo What?
Well, One thing I hate the most about living in the country is SPIDERS!!! I think we can SERIOUSLY live without them!!! In my opinion we have no use for them. I know they eat other insects. But come on there are other things that eat insects. Okay now that i finish complaining :) I will get to the point of my title. We have a abundant supply of Hobo Spiders. Just the other day In my kitchen from my counter to the Wall was a HUGE web (wasn't there a few hrs ago) with this Nasty (very aggressive and fast) spider. Well My night and shining armor came to the rescue (my dear Hubby) killed the thing. Now don't get me wrong. I don't scream and carry on . I just Call for my husband and he will kill it. Now I will kill the little ones. that I know wont attack me lol. Then yesterday we found one, right near our porch. I tried to light this thing on fire but never could get him. My husband Believes my son was bitten by a hobo spider. we believe there was no venom injected into the bite. Thank the Lord. We have a friend who's little boy was bitten by a hobo spider the other week and the venom was injected . Now he has a little whole in his thigh. I was reading up on this spider and it is commonly mistaken for the Brown Recluse. Click on the picture to get a close up of it.

Yuck, yuck, yuck!! I'm not too fond of spiders either, but hate snakes & mice a lot more than spiders!!
I am NOT going to click for a close-up look! LoL I don't like spiders (or roaches or snakes and all tho other nasties)! * shudder * When I see a bug I holler for my resident knight in shining armor too--what has happened to the independent woman I was before Ken?!... and then (oh, dear, I'm spilling my secret!) I sing my off-key rendition of "Oh, don't you know that you're my hero?!" (I only sing that line, and off-key at that, because I don't know the song!)
