oh lords no

are you okay?

oh yes I am haha.

I didn't kill it though I was too scared XO

That's creepy. We found one in an old couch we got out of storage once.

If it is in a place that you don't go very often, they are very beneficial spiders for the ecosystem. They eat other spiders and other noxious bugs.

However if it is a place where you or the little one go, spider has to fudge off or get dead.

might be able to catch it if you've got a transparent / translucent cup or something.

I can't imagine Glitch wants to get close enough to said spider to do that.

can't really blame them.

Yeeeeeah... most spiders don't bother me much, actually I tend to like most of them. (They're on my personal arms in the SCA.) Black Widows, I am much less fond of.

And brown recluse. Can do without those as well.

i like spiders, just not when they're out of sight, because then i have no idea what the hell is going on.

No thanks to the brown recluse. They seem to be a very popular spider up in these parts. Sadly.
Kind of had to get used to other spiders tho. Especially those tiny jumping spiders. Heck, it seems I had crushed a spider in my sleep last night. It's body was on my pillow this morning. RIP you dumb idiot.

Out of sight certainly doesn't equate out of mind for spiders.

Though I admit, my first thought was "their taxes." Which is borderline absurdist.

that reminds me of an incorrect quotes thing for don't starve involving wendy telling webber about a spider in her room, via the telephone, and webber calling the spider a fiend after she mentions that it's not paying its taxes.

Can't imagine what a spider would do if it had to pay taxes. Sell it's cobwebs for silk?

If they have no income and own no property, what would they pay taxes on?

But they do have their own property. If you don't consider their spiderwebs a property, then they are squatters and need to be dealt with accordingly. >:l
Speaking of which. Need to go collect all that rent from my spiders.

There are so many spiders covering the ground here, it looks like it's covered in glitter at night with a flashlight because of their eyes.

That sounds lovely. You must be so safe from any insects at the moment.
