Postby mayanks_098 on Sat May 10, 2008 9:46 pm

As the post title says,its already 3:00 am in the morning and i cant even think of sleep.

Because of this "thing" in my bedroom.

I was going to the switch panel to switch on the fan so that i can study when something on the wall caught my attention and discovered this spider as huge as...as....ehh.? wat? I don know,i cant remember anything right now to compare its size with. I said WTF!!! :shock:

You call me anything but i cant sleep with that huge spider on the wall of my bedroom. No,i cant "kill" it you know because :idea: i am against cruelty to animals and im a PETA activist. Alright,im just too scared by it to even go near it and you are talking about killing it?

Now i will have to kill around 3 hours on net(thats not at all a problem)with an eye spying on the "thing" that its not getting closer to m,till my dad gets up in the morning and i go to his bed and sleep while he does something about this spider.

I have no idea what spider this is.Anybody has any idea?

And starting from tomorrow are me end sem exam.

It is hard to tell in the picture, but it does not look like it has enough legs to be a spider. So it is most likely an insect.

Well, like I said, it is hard to tell from the photo, I could be wrong. Can you count how many legs it has?

If you do not want to kill it, then try to knock it into a box or something, and throw the box out your window.

Good luck, your going to be very tired in the morning.

I think your only real worry is if the spider takes over your web connection :)
