Guest sibon   #7 Posted September 5, 2012 You wuss! It's just a little death's head crab spider ...  Watch out though, they go for the throat, and they're like lightning!  You sure about that?  It looks like a garden spider to me.  They are slow and just tickle a bit if they manage to catch up with you.

I love a tickle every now & then but I'd rather have my back scratched by a hungry tiger than have a tickle from that beast.
