‘Tarantulas’ invade Assam town, ‘kill’ two - The Economic Times

This is very weird. I don't know where Upper Assam is, I will have to go look it up and make sure to avoid it at all costs.

Jintu Gogoi's neighbourhood in Sadiya, Upper Assam, is no longer friendly. Over two weeks ago, an army of eight-legged freaks invaded it. It all happened in the evening on May 8. Most of the inhabitants of Chaulkhowa Nagaon village had been to a Bihu function. When the programme drew to a close, swarms of spiders suddenly descended from nowhere and started biting the people. The festive mood soon turned into one of panic with people bumping into each other and tripping over empty benches in their frantic bid to egress. Jintu was bitten by one of these critters.

Then on May 22, a team of life scientists from Dibrugarh University and Gauhati University arrived in Sadiya. Led by Dr L R Saikia, head, Department of Life Sciences, Dibrugarh University, the team camped in the trouble spot for two days and nights and collected specimens. "As of now, we cannot give a specific name. It's similar to the tarantula, but it could be a whole new species. There aren't any arachnologists in the northeast, so it will take us a while to identify it. But whatever the species, it is a highly aggressive spider. It leaps at anything that comes close. Some of the victims claimed the spider latched onto them after biting.[/QUOTE]

In My Opinion
I was moving the canoe around the yard yesterday and when I flipped it over a Black Widow crawled up onto my arm, I was able to scream like a girl and flick it off before running back into the house.
No bite.
I came back out in full camy with 20 cans of spider spray.
