Starlight tour, but for spiders.
Alien invasion!
While I try to let them chill for the most part, the eight legged bastard that descended from the ceiling in the middle of the room to just eye level with me got clapped like a bitch.
I had one plop off the ceiling onto my shoulder while I was working a few weeks ago. Took a pic and sent it to my daughters to remind them spiders are our friends and then took him off my shoulder and put him on the ground.
My philosophy… if he’s surviving in my house, he’s eating bugs and providing a service.
I aspire to never be this pathetic.
House-dwelling spiders are usually adapted to life inside the house (likely cave-dwelling species). Their survival rate outside is not very good.
Does not apply so much in warm weather countries. All the spiders that come into our house are also easily found loving life outside (Australia). I just gently move them out, except daddy long-legs, generally let some of them stay as pest control.
Ahhh okay. I live in Canada and I frequently see spiders roaming my house when it’s well below freezing outside. I’m pretty confident they will not survive out in the snow.
Also you do NOT want to face an all spider jury one day.
96 eyes all judging me.
Jumping spiders are always welcome in my home.
You have to jump this high to be let inside
I would have thought a spider was impossible to pet had I not seen this. Chill little fella.
Jumping spiders are very nice pets, a lot of people have it as such. They are smart enough to recognise their owner and even to learn tricks.
I understand the metaphor, but I think we as men are the spiders.
That’s really cute until you apply the “alive in wrong space at wrong time” philosophy to cockroaches and termites. Clean your house and keep the local wildlife outside.
I love spiders
My mom taught me growing up to deal with spiders like this. She proudly told me how her dad had taught her to do it. Now she’s nearly 90 and when she sees a spider she’s like KILL THAT FUCKIN THING!!!
Spiders do not deserve this mercy. Kill on sight.
Spiders are keeping your house free of bugs that will eat your food if they find it. They’re working hard and get little thanks.
Spiders ARE bugs.
They are not bugs that will eat your food though, which was the point I made.
