I took that pic for you to see how large it is.I recognised it as a CLUBIONA TERRESTRIS (or) a ANGELOPSIS but i am not sure. Any idea which spiece does it belongs to?

it is so plastic end of story

Comment by: Undefined Logic on Jul 06, 2008

He looks like he ate a lot of those nasty critters too! Should be a desert outside now. Yes it is an arachnid. Eight legs, two body portions, and other characteristics correspond. Animals are much more interesting alive and in their natural habitats. People are too.

Comment by: Undefined Logic on Jul 06, 2008

Well way to go dude! Spiders eat all the harmful bugs in your garden! They eat everything that eats your work! It's not doing anything in "preservable fluid" should have took a pic alive and left him alone. YOur whole garden is screwed now.

Comment by: Crypto.Crazy on Nov 22, 2006

Comment by: Jim Brikiatis on Sep 17, 2006

Nice...Thank god, the doctor is here so maybe things may be improved. You guys can wait for the photo i send, or else i will remain to your eyes as a hoax maker.

Comment by: Dr. Rick G. on Sep 16, 2006

Any type of liquid that preserves can make something look rubber or plastic. I know from my experience as a Medical Doctor.

Comment by: crypted_newby on Sep 10, 2006

hey even though i feel that yours is a fake i am sharing your anger i bosted a few pics and they arn't there, and they were the recomended 800 pixles.

Comment by: Jim Brikiatis on Sep 02, 2006

Hey, guys. I have posted a better pic of the spider on the gallery for you to see but it is not here! So what is going on?If the moderator believes that i am larfing you and there is no reason for continuing with this, then just tell me so i know. Thank you,

Comment by: Ruby_Lee on Aug 31, 2006

it looks realy fake! XD

Comment by: Jesse R on Aug 21, 2006

I Live in Australia in the bush and come across many spiders. most of them Huntsman or redback. i think the image here is probably real for I recognize the dimples in the abdomen which occurs in most dead spider due to the body losing moisture and thus its surface tension.

Comment by: Ms. Bigfoot to you on Aug 21, 2006

eww.... i was looking at that picture and thinking of the spider that scurried across my sheets while I was trying to read a few nights ago. Which after I became obessed that it wold come back...and it did...Eversince then I have been big-spider-phobic. they are nasty. then when I was looking at your fake toy picture, I felt something move under my leg, so imaginable, i pulled the laptop cords out of it and got out of there as fast as i could. nasty things.

Comment by: bookworm 4675 on Aug 17, 2006

i can't believe anyone would believe that's anything but fake. And i have seen spiders bigger than this everywhere.

Comment by: yelraf on Aug 17, 2006

plasticuc fakus

Comment by: Mr.Sasquatch on Aug 15, 2006

it does look shiny and plastic-like. Looks a bit like a toy from the Museum. I have to agree with the others that its fake.

Comment by: Muglio on Aug 12, 2006

never mind, it's fake all right.

Comment by: Muglio on Aug 12, 2006

it's not fake, and it's a wolf spider

Comment by: Cryptokreep on Aug 11, 2006

fake

Comment by: crypted_newby on Aug 06, 2006

they are, hence the mane reason for beleaving it's a fake

Comment by: General_Mexicoy on Aug 04, 2006

if it were real then all the legs would be attached to the cephalothorax, but it looks like a couple of them are on the abdomen

Comment by: Cryptid_Seeker on Aug 04, 2006

Sorry,looks fake to me,but if it is real,its awesome!

Comment by: serendipity on Aug 03, 2006

its got eight legs and chelicerie, but i cant see any pedipalps. i think its fake!

Comment by: Jester-cap on Jul 31, 2006

it does look fake but mabe its just a large misshapen wolf spider

Comment by: Hogman on Jul 31, 2006

Plastic

Comment by: crypted_newby on Jul 25, 2006

first of all you would type an angelposis. second that isnt even that big mot tarantulas can cover an entier dinner plate with there legs extended. ive seen a spider thats smaller than that and it had hair covering it so it would be hairy so im gona say it is a fake. i go witth what vashino saidtho that the legs dont seem to attach right.

Comment by: JigsawQuandryConundrum on Jul 24, 2006

send the picture to whatsthatbug.com, they'll tell you what it is

Comment by: *nessie*lover*5 on Jul 24, 2006

look at his middle finger. it looks crooked maybe the spider broke it lol

Comment by: Ulfkilljoy on Jul 23, 2006

DAMN!!! that is a nasty lookin' bug there! I dislike aracnids in my house especialy running across your arm in the warm summer night! Say Jim? where do you live? it would give people a better idea of the bugs that can be found in your area. I am up in Alaska and we don't have many strange bugs like that oddity you found there in your yard. camel spiders are not actuly a spider but a refined type aracnoid that can spin a web. so I heard...

Comment by: buubaby261979 on Jul 22, 2006

Looks lifelike but I have to agree with the others. It looks too plastic to be considered anything real. Looks cool though.

Comment by: *nessie*lover*5 on Jul 21, 2006

o my god thats so freeky i HATE spiders keep it away from me!!!

Comment by: cryptidkeeper on Jul 19, 2006

thats fake

Comment by: Mothmanlover on Jul 18, 2006

it looks like an austrailian funnel web spider or a trap door spider

Comment by: Jim Brikiatis on Jul 17, 2006

Sorry, i am trying to send one more pic but it says that there is an error...Just wait for a while and you'll see this better. Here's an ideaSave the picture in your desktop and zoom in the spider...Do you know many plastic ones that have fair?

Comment by: Moonlight on Jul 15, 2006

I've seen what preservatives can do to spiders, but I can't help but to think that I might have seen that or something like it.... ..at Walmart.

Comment by: guywholiveshere on Jul 11, 2006

search for plastic spider on google. you'll find your species

Comment by: Grover_Spacenut on Jul 11, 2006

nah.. It is a toy.

Comment by: Cryptophsyco on Jul 09, 2006

i am arachniphobic,i feel faint....,

Comment by: "C "man on Jul 09, 2006

dont know what it is but I would freak if I saw it that close to me.I hate spidersonly the big one.

Comment by: guywholiveshere on Jul 08, 2006

For Azra Nogaru Yes camel spiders are bigger, but they only get to about six inches. Also, they aren't really spiders. they're solpugids, but like spiders they are arachnids.

Comment by: Viashino on Jul 07, 2006

Can you get a better picture? The first pair of legs seems to articulate into the cephalothorax wrong, and there are no pedipalps, which is suggestive of a toy - hence why a better picture would back this up.

Comment by: Loder on Jul 07, 2006

It IS plastic. Next....

Comment by: Blue Cow Spawned on Jul 06, 2006

looks sorta plastic

Comment by: Jim Brikiatis on Jul 06, 2006

You 're not wrong at all. Its because of hethanole, it makes it look pure black, though its belly is a litlle orange-brownish.I'll try to post a better pic maybe,Its head is hard actually!After i found it i was afraid if one of these would ever ender our house...

Comment by: TonyCannon on Jul 05, 2006

Sweet Jesus!

Comment by: soy una fantasma, beb on Jul 05, 2006

yeah, it doesn't look real at all. take a closer pic, more detail.

Comment by: Gabriele on Jul 05, 2006

Looks like a rubber spider. 'Nuff said.

Comment by: Adamski on Jul 05, 2006

It looks like a plastic toy to me.

Comment by: Azra Nogaru on Jul 05, 2006

WAY larger

Comment by: Azra Nogaru on Jul 05, 2006

that thing is rather large, but camel spiders are bigger

Comment by: Con-Rit on Jul 05, 2006

I'm not arachnaphobic, but you can't help but shudder when you look at that guy...
