He/she lives on my porch, it is very fast, it can scramble up the web amazingly fast, I have taken the approach of it can stay as long as it stays where it is, any moving towards the door will result in annihalation.. Pictures arent that great, I didnt like having to look through the small viewfinder while unable to watch this thing.

They are all over south texas. I used to spend hours a day shooting them off the barn and garage at my grandparents farm. All with a trusty 15 year old daisy red ryder bb gun :D

That looks like the type that my sister called "Dancing spiders" If you take a stick and lightly touch the edge of the web far from the spider, it would start to bounce around moving the web so that whatever touches its web would get tangled up faster. Try it.

That one's tiny compared to the ones I used to see in Okinawa! Those suckers were huge! Nothing like bumping into a web at night in the jungle.

I have a couple of huge ones on my porch. I have never been a big spider fan but I love these.
Even if you don't like them, catch yourself a nice, fat grasshopper. Take it over and toss it into the web. Step back and watch the show. These things are amazing. The way they spit out webbing and spin the grasshopper to wrap it up is amazing. Then she'll go in for the kill by biting the grasshopper on the head. Then she'll leave dinner hanging for a while as her stuff softens up its insides. She'll return an hour or so later to suck out the innards. You'll find just a grasshoper shell and some white spider poo on the ground the next day. Okay, maybe I enjoy it too much. |

I had one in a bush outside my front door last summer. It lived there for a couple of months. I actually petted it one time, when its body was about the size of a cherry.

Spiders are good - don't kill 'em - catch them (if in your house) and release to the outdoors.

I used to have a kind of a pet spider in San Diego. It lived in a bush in my patio. Had a problem with caterpillars so I used to pick them off the bushes and throw them into her web. She fattened up pretty good over the summer.
I feel sorry for you guys who get the heeby-jeebies. Just lucky I guess, but they don't bother me. I only kill black widows and brown recluse spiders. I've got kids and those two are dangerous. The others I pick up and take outside if I find them in the house. If you plan on doing the above, do make sure you know what the bad ones look like. I did make a mistake early on and caught a brown recluse in the bathroom. I thought it was one of the good ones and I carried it outside. Didn't get bit so I was lucky, but I felt a little chill when I later found out what kind it was. If I could host them somewhere, I've got pics of a black widow eating a small snake. |

Would this be a bad time to talk about the Wed. night dog walking? Namely passing a phone pole, felt something hit my arm. Thought "stupid bug" until the feeling that spider web was stuck to my arm, and then noticedone of those orange and brown spiders that build webs in the absolute wrong places was running back & forth across my shirt.
 Think right about...now I'll tell the spiderphobic arfcommers that the worst it did was annoy me by needing two attempts to flick it off my shirt. |
