Ah. So that explains the buzzing hordes of disease-carrying mosquitoes and flies that hang out at dar512's place. The poor kid never quite grasped this whole "food chain" concept.

They get the same deal as the spiders. If they can't stay outside, their life is forfeit. I am deadly with a magazine.

So you've got spiders eating flies for you, huh? How's that working out for you? Don't the webs get in the way?

Beat me to it. :lol:

You wanna get rid of flying insects? Keep snakes and toads around the house. They don't leave filthy webs around, and can eat more bugs in one night than a whole army of spiders. (Especially if I'm squishing the spiders.)

does that guy have a huge right finger or what? that was pretty much the first thing I saw when the page loaded. And these guys make awesome golden webs in costa rica....catching hummingbirds and huge grasshoppers!

Wow, that's really pretty. And that yellow color is natural?

That's what she said.

I would have volunteered for that work. I love spiders. I had one I named Boris (obviously!) spinning the most fantastic webs on my office window last month. Huge, lovely symmetric webs, about 20" across.

I usually try and save spiders, if they're in my house...

HOWEVER, if they reject my hand of friendship, and back away from me?

Well... Let's just say that I deal with rejection... badly.

SPLAT! POW! BAM! WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME?! BAM! POW! SPLAT!

very clever:sniff: i think im going to cry

I leave the basement spiders alone. There's one or two down there big enough to take me.
But the ones upstairs in the bathtub? Sorry, down the drain you go! I just take my glasses off and pretend I didn't see them.

I would love to touch that cloth (NO jokes pur-lease!)
I bet it feels gorgeous.

I'm not fussed by spiders.
I think because my Mum and sister were, and I was always trying to emulate my Dad rather than them. In fact now Dad's in his 70th year I'm pretty much fulfilling manly duties such as opening jars (I have a strong grip boys) and evacuating insects.

Yes, I evacuate them. Whereas Dad, too old for the chase, squashes, smacks or (HORROR!) sprays them to death. Poor spiders. I don't care much about the woodlice though.

Warning: they can crawl back up out of drains.:eek:

They're pretty good at water spouts too. Even if they're itsy bitsy.

There's this spider that likes to hang out next to my keyboard, and mouse. We had to have a little talk. I think he was listening because there's no sign of him/it anymore....
