Shaun_300 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Looks like it was dead, that's a good thing! Still would frighten the daylights out of ya as you reached for a banana though! My mom would have had a heart attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Holy Bejeebers. That would have scared the crap out of me. I don't mind a spider if I see it first, but if they startle me, man, I hate that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gzilla45 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Seeing news stories like these makes me want to inspect my fruit/veggies a little better before leaving the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_lou Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I am not surpised. I used to know a guy who did a reptile/bug rescue. Grocery stores were always calling him about spiders, lizards, & other nasty bugs coming in on their fruit. He would go and collect them and rehome them.

Ravin R10 man Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 It was NOT dead when found..her husband grabbed a nanner off the bunch and he crawled out from under the stem....he sqooshed it with a paper towel..lucky he didnt get bit check anything that you get in a bunch..grapes, nanners, and any veggies... put em in the sink and rinse them off..good idea anyways.. think I'll keep the tongs handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Update: It WAS confirmed as a Brazilian wandering spider...what makes it do dangerous is it's agressiveness..it will come at you if you get too close, and bite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
