Up there in Canada I hear that there have been Brazilian Jumping spiders that have travelled in your banana shipments. The most poisonous spider in the world? Just ask Carolynanna about it!
You mean the Brazilian Wandering Spider!!!

It was a wandering banana spider guys, check it out, scary!
http://triffophoto3.tripod.com/tpo/id8.html
"Speedy and unpredictable, several large Ctenid species will readily attack if surprised or provoked. Reports of people getting 'chased' by these spiders are not uncommon. Such aggressive disposition, combined with extremely toxic venom and a propensity to 'wander' into human habitation, may arguably qualify some Ctenids as the world's most dangerous spiders."
It also says its common for them to come over in the bananas.
But my bro told me they should've been dead due to all the chemical showers the fruit goes through.
Scary b/c those guys don't work with gloves all the time. |

They are totally aggressive!
We were poking it (hehe) with a twist-tie and the thing actually grabbed it and latched on and proceeded to bite the shit out of it!
Ahh good times good times. |

I had a friend who was too chicken to get rid of bugs as well.
She would spray hairspray on them until they were dead and stiff.
Dean tell your sister to just put a cup over it and then wait for someone to take it away later. |

Are you kidding?! She was across the room holding a tupperware container and deathly afraid to go anywhere near it. I thought she was holding it for protection, turns out she was so sick about this spider she thought she was going to throw up.
The weird thing is that I know of no incidences that should've caused such massive fear.

My goodness she can't even put a cup over it,

I was going to say put a cup over it and then you can slide a piece of paper underneath and throw it outside but... |
