Country:  | My wife is actually in the process of doing some research on arachnids as part of her studies.
We were discussing the Brown Recluse because I was bitten by a spider when I was 14 in N. Carolina and the Doctors said it was a Brown Recluse but it never really did anything but swell up and hurt.
Anyhow back to what I was saying my wife tells me that the majority of Brown Recluse bites never get worse than a painfull swelling. The crazy stuff you see up there is called necrosis and actually are very very rare.

You are right! If it was not for the fact that I allready have several names picked out for my next band I would consider it.

Country:  | Hey Matt what county are you in? I've sometimes gone out to various parks in Whatcom San Juan, or Skagit, and been up to Moses Lake many times. Am I likely to find one of these nasties?

Country: | Yep. More so in Moses Lake. I'm in King County, just north of Pierce County.
And Adler, my favorite unused band name... StuntFish. As an aspirer for Alaska living, you should know the origin.

Country:  | I'm just happy to live thousands of miles away from Brown Recluse or Black Widow spiders.
I'm pretty sure that we only have one species poisonous snake, the Adder, and that avoids humans anyway...
Living somewhere safe outweighs the drawbacks of the dreary weather imo..

[does the Willie Dance] | Back about 1986 we were living in South Carolina and my sister went to take a shower. She came back downstairs screaming saying a black spider had come out of the ventilation above the shower. My mom went up there and found a black widow clinging to the shower head.
Later that day my mom went up into the attic and found a nest of them right above the ventilation shaft.
We had to have pest control come out and kill them all. Quote:

Country:  | Sweden doesn't seem so bad after all.... On a side note though, since I have relatives in Virginia and British Columbia, what kinda nasties can you find there?

| I loath Spiders! Nasty little critters!
Blackwidows I've seen plenty of times, as-well as various birdspiders, but the Recluse I have luckily never come close to, atleast as far as I know 
__________________  We have built a total of about 1250 of this aircraft (Me-262), but only fifty were allowed to be used as fighters - as interceptors. And out of this fifty, there were never more than 25 operational. So we had only a very, very few.
