Post Your Terrible Insect Encounters (Arachnids too)

I'll go first (duh) One time, I was sitting on the toilet doing the doo doo and a spider came from the ceiling right in front of me, I wasn't even done and I didn't have anything to kill it with so I grabbed a stepping stool and smashed it into the ground and killed it. Now it's your turn. Edit: Baby Spiders hatched Inside my ceiling fan and invaded my room, needless to say I slept on the couch that day.

    I got 3 1. Sitting on toilet at 4 am, got up to pee. Keep in mind this bathroom is like 5ft by 5ft. I look to the right and see a foot - long thousand legger crawl through the bathroom door, I have a mini heart attack 2. At 4am, see a giant thousand legger crawling on my wall with big antenae. Another mini heart attack. 3. In my giant cement house in Poland, we have no A/C and the screens on our windows are torn. I sleep with undergarments on and I'm still too hot, even with covers off, so I open the window. Lo and behold, mosquitos fly in and buzz by my ears all night, every night. I tried taking pillows and covering my ears but it didn't work. It was like this for 3 months until I left. My winter - born sister is always cold and wore wool socks and a sweater and 3 blankets and didn't hear the bugs once, and she was always too cold. 2 years later, I still put a cover over my ears when I sleep.

        • Now this spider, it was a big Brazilian Wandering spider which is frequently on top 10 lists of most dangerous spiders. At the time at the age of 9, I was lying down on the ground just texting away like nobodies business. And all of a sudden the Wandering came from around a cabinet on the ground. And I didn't notice till

          Holy crap, I really have to pee and there's this wolf spider in my bathroom that I neglected to kill and the freaking thing stayed in the bathroom all night. I don't have a problem with spiders if they don't directly bother me. So I reach my hand to touch the light switch, and the piece of crap was sitting on the light switch! I have to pee! Get out of here, you have no business here! Is it money you want?! Can I help you?! Edit: I think it's a brown recluse because it only moves in the dark or when I'm not around.

            • I woke up one day and felt something tickling the side of my head in my hair, thought it was just a feeling, so I ignored it. Later, the feeling came back and I slapped the top of my head, looked at my hand and found a rather large, now dead spider, I screamed , very manly of course, in fear because I have a fear of insects.

              • I was taking a shower before I went to bed and then this baby black widow spider was on the wall in the shower and was crawling towards the floor. Once it reached the floor I drowned it in shampoo. It tried to crawl out of the shampoo mountain but it was overwhelmed and then died.

                  • It was really late one night and my cats were messing with a picture, so I knew there was something behind it (a bug or a toy). I proceed to move the picture and a giant centipede (at least like 5-6 inches) was behind it. It looked like a little squirmy alien. I couldn't bring myself to capture it and release it outside, so I vacuumed it.

                  • Bee time. First one is actually a wasp story. So this is a little 7 year old me, and we have a field outside of our house in our backyard. For some reason, I wasn't wearing shoes or a shirt. I went out there and sat on a rock. Suddenly, I felt this pinching all over my back. I jumped up, onl to realize that I just sat on and destroyed a paper wasp nest. They weren't happy. I tried to run (very slowly- no shoes, remember?) away, but they kept on stinging. I eventually got inside, where my back and legs were just peppered with welts. And now for the bees. My dad and I were out geocaching one day in the woods behind our house. We found one location that looked like it would be fun to get to. We hike out there, and then we find the location. There was no geocache, though. We searched around, but to no avail. We thought that it was down this hill, so we started walking. My dad stepped on a rock, which came out of the ground and rolled down the hill. Suddenly, a solid-looking stream of bees flew out of the ground, where there was a hole that had a beehive in it. They started landing on us and indiscriminately stinging us, and we booked it. But they kept coming. They weren't normal bees, either. We found that they were Africanized Honey Bees. And they just left at least half a dozen (I figured at the time) stingers in my arms. We get to a safe spot a ways away, and we then begin the process of removing all the stingers from ourselves. There were a few in my camelback, and a few in my jeans. The dozen that actually stung me were on my arms, where there were only about half a dozen stingers. We removed the stingers and applied some ointment from our first aid kits (we both carried them in our camelbacks- scout motto, right? Be prepared), and then we just made our walk back home.

                          I've been working in an office for about 7 years. About 3 years ago, we were moving out to another building, so I was tasked with taking out everything on the archive room. I started moving box after box of old documents, and right as I was about to finish, I looked at that big ass box. It was enormous, like 1.8m x 1.8 m x 1.8 m. It contained documents of a company from 1998 to 2010, somenthing like that. The box was never moved before, because it was actually huge (we pay a lot of taxes in my country) and the client who owns the company was a little bit shady, so he never asked for it. I started devising a plan to get it moved, and after 15 min of solid thinking, I started moving it. Right away as the gigantic box moved a few centimeters, a -blam!-ing huge spider comes out of the bottom of it. The thing was the biggest spider I have seen in my entire life. Its diameter was bigger than a CD! It wasnt a weird spider, it was of a very common species called around here "arañas de jardín" (garden spiders), but those normally are like 2 cm diameter, not anywhere close to that monster. I'm not normally afraid of spiders, but this thing was freakin huge, so I just grabbed a broom and pushed the spider all the way to the balcony. I don't know what was the spider final fate. Pic related, a very similar spider to that of my encounter.

                        • Not my story, but my mom's. So, back when she lived in an apartment with her friend, a small egg sac (spider) began to grow. Eventually it got so damn big, it wasn't ignorable anymore. Like [b]gigantic[/b]! They were both women, so they didn't know what to do and didn't want to do anything (can't blame em) so they brought in a vacuum. As the vacuum started, the egg sac hatched. Thousands of baby spiders poured out. They got all of them in the vacuum and threw it out the window. The vacuum stayed in their yard until they moved out.

                          • Reading this thread outside (at some music festival now) and felt something on my arm. Shined my phone on it, inch long beetle was on my arm, nearly freaked out. Not sure of the species, but it pops its neck up and down to flip over when it is upside down. We just call them click beetles.
