Pretty sure the arachnoid just its movement employed and her intestines annoyed. Puzzling though about why the Musca domestica Linnaeus she did ingest; possibly it will result in eternal rest.
I like spiders, now that I’m all grown up and mature. However, I’m sure we all know how it was when we were kids. There were all kinds of rumors that were spread around that all spiders were extremely dangerous and could be fatal or at least give you the heartbreak of psoriasis!
Now, they are free to come and go as they please in my house!
Well played, you two.
With apologies to Jim Stafford, I truly enjoy spiders (and snakes).
I don’t see all that well, though, so I tend to give them a pretty wide berth, never quite knowing exactly what I’m dealing with.
I like spiders so much I’ve got a tattoo of a Black Widow on my right arm.
I love spiders! You have to look pretty far afield to see one of that size, though - I’ve seen some lovely tarantulas near the mountains. Around the house, we have wolf spiders, jumping spiders, and scores of others I don’t know the names of, and they’re all welcome. The only ones I (reluctantly) kill are the black widows who set up shop in the house or the porch, because I don’t want the cats getting bitten.
I came across this craigslist ad which reveals the horrific reality that big hairy tarantulas are being shipped around the country next to our mail and packages.
Jumping spiders seem to recognize me especially if I feed them flies. They seem more intelligent than other species. . I usually have at least one daddy long leg that lives in my shower. I tolerate black widows in the yard and managed to go 73 years without getting bit, then suddenly I was bitten twice in one summer, both of them in my jacuzzi control box. Nothing more than a welt appeared.
We have penalty jars. Spiders are not allowed inside of the house. If they are found inside, they face a time-out penalty. They stay in the penalty jar until we take them outside. (In actuality, the time-out is minimal. We usually take them outside upon catching them.)
We do not tolerate black widows, which we do not have up here. My dad was bitten on the calf by one, and he had an ulcerated wound that persisted for weeks.
We have a dedicated Tupperware container for giving spiders rides to the outside. It lives in the bathroom as spiders often get stuck in the tub.
Hubby took a picture of a yellow-striped one yesterday, but we haven’t identified it yet.
Some years back he had major pain from what he thought was a spider bite. That’s when we learned that none of the spiders around here are poisonous and big enough to cause problems for humans. He also learned that Shingles is not fun. 
Supposedly we have happy-face spiders here in Hawai’i. I haven’t seen any, but I’d love to.
Ugh. I like spiders and other varmints well enough, but not hairless spiders like that one. Especially that one. I don’t know why hairless makes such a difference. The link in jnglmassiv’s post has images of some very cool (hairy) tarantulas. Never seen a blue spider before.
It’s a wasp spider. So named because of the yellow and black stripes. We much prefer the wasp spider over wasps.
Nope, I was taught my appreciation for spiders by my mom, starting when I was a wee one. This might have earned me a reputation among my peers, but if so, I was oblivious to it.
I did used to have a phobia of house centipedes, but I got over that. The phobia went away quite suddenly when I unexpectedly made physical contact with one one day. In the moment, I nearly jumped through the ceiling, but since then, no reaction.
I like spiders, except i have to admit, when i see them preying on vertebrates, i always side with the vertebrate.
But we have a “leave it alone” policy towards the small spiders that live in our house, and often have one in the master bath, and maybe in another corner or two.
The place i vacation in NH has giant “dock spiders” that can have a legspan of 3-4 inches. They are completely harmless to people (at least, if you poke at one, it will just run away, it won’t try to bite) and i enjoy them. Maybe I’ll even try to do the work to post a photo of a big one i saw guarding her egg sack.
I respect spiders, used to occasionally feed a large one that had a web above our back door in Texas, and have transported spiders from indoors to the outside.
However, the one that descended right in front of my face as I was eating my breakfast cereal this morning was not treated kindly. 
That’s fascinating what did you see the spider catch?
I believe I’ve been bitten by spiders in my sleep. I searched for bed bugs checked the cats for fleas, poked around for skeeters and gnats none to be found. Yes spiders on the ceilings but surely their tiny mouths can do no harm?
Or so I thought. I fell asleep with a
light on and woke up to see a spider descending on a thread above my bed aiming for my throat! No relocation tonight bubs it was SMACK between my hands. Good night!
No more bites.
Creepy fuckers. And yeah you sort of get used to them but the first several times I encountered one, I was not pleased. The way they move seems unnatural.
I’m a fan of most bugs, minus flies, gnats and mosquitoes. I’ve always been and I hope to pass that on to my son. The other day in the park we found a wiggly worm and he held it in his hand and was really gentle with it, so I think we have a good trajectory.
I love spiders. My mom got me a copy of Be Nice To Spiders when I was a kid, and it stuck.
This gorgeous girl has been guarding our tomatoes all summer.
This is my favorite spider:
They are known as crab spiders. They don’t spin webs but live on flowers and nab bees and other insects with their large front legs. They also change color. That white guy became yellow within a few days (I took all these photos).
Here is what she looked like once she changed color:
And yes, they sit like that while they wait for prey.
This is what they look like when they grab something. Somehow, double bee. Don’t understand how this happened.
I think those are wasps, not bees, and they’re copulating. Well, one of them was and the other is trying not to but might be unable to free itself. Pretty gruesome image.
