A few nights ago my sawtooth x parahna trapped a big spider and tonight a slug crawled up and tried to eat the spider. My skin is still crawling. I thought slugs at vegetation not spiders. Yuck

Yup they need protein too..

My favorite CP is the venus fly trap, my first love and gateway into the CP world. What's your entry plant into this addiction hobby?

Knowing a slug needs protein makes this that much more disgusting. I think I threw up a little. Roflmao

I don't know what kind of spider but it was big, black and hairy. It was over 3 inches across and in my house. (Add the scene from psycho below) I was pretty horrified to see it. I actually stomped on it and gave it to the Fly Trap. Maybe I should put Fly Traps around my bed at night for perimeter protection?

That's exactly how it felt and that sounds like a spider screaming. That gave me chills.

I hate camel crickets and earwigs. But that was a gnarly spider to be in the house. Play psycho music now!

A long time ago, my son (3) and I smashed a bunch of garden snails one evening. The next evening, we went to look for more and found hundreds of slugs eating the snails. The next day I bought a 10lb bag of slug/snail bait.

Sprinkle salt on them, they will begin to melt instantly!
