Spider!

Trapped in a deli container and deposited outside

Damn, I'm too late. Was going to start a collection to see if we could get you to eat it.

Agree completely. I like spiders, they're our little 8-footed friends and insects would take over the world without them. But you do have to set boundaries and squish one once in a while so that they know who the boss is. You can look sympathetic to spiders, but you can't look weak, they smell fear.

As some here already know I have a soft spot for our 8-legged friends as I used to have a large collection of Tarantulas. (and Giant tropical centipedes!)

Having said that, far as native spiders go I have no problem with a web(s) in the ceiling-corner, however even I draw the line at the free-range guys you find all over the place!

I currently live in a converted 3rd floor/attic-apartment and the house dates to the late 1890's so there are quite a few of that kind too ... my rule is if they stay out of my sight we're good!

Speaking of spiders found this big fat ass one years back, had to take a video:

Guessing it was a pregnant female because that thing is so huge it had trouble walking lol.

Jokes on you, they're already inside your body, laying their eggs.

Which, uh, I think you need to call...what was his name? to come over and squash it. And by squash, it totally means bang!

Syringer?


Yeah, i pretty much have a live-and-let-live relationship with spiders. Didn't know we could have black widows around here but brown recluse are not uncommon, i guess. Good thing is you mostly never see them.

I was walking to the car and noticed this guy out of the corner of my eye

That is why I live where the air hurts my face.

I was helping my sister with outside Christmas decorations today, and the air did hurt my face, but I did not see any giant spiders either.

And I get upset when I see a mosquito or a stink bug. I really need to do some weatherizing.

spiders don't bother me unless one is crawling on me.

it ain't easy being a spider.

No doubt.... even the most dangerous/defensive spiders bite won't kill a healthy adult human 99.999% of the time. (although you may WISH you were dead for awhile!)

Venomous snakes on the other can and do kill people every single day.
