Whats That Bug? with Kai.

[Kai]

I already know the species, Kai, but if you know how I could get some larvae, that would be just great.

You can use them to make biodiesel from compost.

Yay, Stratiomyidae!

Best place to get larvae is to put down compost and let them come to you. I've found them in cow pastures under hay rather extensively. Also, there are many aquatic species. The larvae are very very leathery.

It's one of the more common types of spider found here, at least, I've seen spiders like it quite often, so I guess it's this one:

Only mine is darker.

Also I haven't seen him in a couple of days .. Maybe he was just visiting?

Sure its not T. agrestis? I wouldn't screw with that species, given their potency.

Dutch spiders are not dangerous. Especially not the ones that live around the house Maybe the ones on the heath or something, you got some weird bugs out there. But as you say, just don't screw with them

So I don't screw with them. The most I would do is to take a cup and a piece of paper to put it outside, but that's about it.

Their fangs aren't made to poke in humans anyway.

According to Dutch Wikipedia, T. Agrestis' bite is more painful and is said to be more agressive than T. Domestica, however there have been exactly zero reports of people bitten by it in Europe, only reports are from the US.

Tegenaria agrestis is often called the hobo spider.

um, will it always look that bad, or just because the guy didn't treat it?

[Freeky]

That looks like a day 10 of no treatment thing. Because wouldn't they just cut off the dead flesh?

[Suu]

If you would just kill the fucking spiders before they bite you that wouldn't happen.

Turns out that's a brown recluse bite I showed you.  Hobo spider bites are similar, but of lesser magnitude.

Okay, yeah I knew about brown recluses. Afaik, they're the main reason Suu is frightened of spiders.

Thankfully we don't get those.

When I imagesearch for "hobo spider bite" images, however, they seem like big red bumps that will turn ugly if you leave them untreated for more than a week.

Okay, the creepiest bug here is just the common black yellow stripy wasp (european wasp?), but if they sting, and they don't too quickly, it gets up to the big red bump stage and then goes away. unless you're allergic in which case you're fucked. and if you got a nest of those fuckers near your house you should probably get rid of that because you can't eat outside anymore without those fuckers bugging you.
