Okay, fine, I'll share a spider story. Yours was great by the way. And by great, I mean it freaked me out. Not cool at all to have a spider strapped to your chest by its web.
A good rule of thumb when you are camping is to zip your tent shut, and then kill all the mosquitoes so you don't get poked by them at night.
So, I did my business, used a light to attract them, and I killed them all. Then I turned in for the night.
As I was laying on my side with my head on my pillow, I felt one last mosquito on my cheek and quickly slapped the little punk.
I expected the sweet splatter of the little sucker.
To my surprise, I cupped something. Freaking out, I clenched my fist and threw whatever it was into the corner of my tent. I grabbed my flashlight to see what the hell it was, and it was a huge spider with a gigantic sack belly!
To this day, I have nightmares about that situation. Totally unexpected and I can't believe that thing was on my face!
I grabbed a lighter and torched that spider. I was so pissed off at it that I burned it to ashes. And then I burned its ashes to make sure it was dead, dead, dead.
And honestly, to this day, I still don't care that I burned a hole in my tent doing that. I would do the same thing today. 🦟🕷☠
I was bitten on my EYELID by a spider when I was a kid. We had camped out and I woke up the next morning with a huge swollen eye. Dr said spider bite. I share your nightmares.
