I just cannot stand BIG spiders - - - others I'll tolerate! We've had a "bumper crop" of spiders this summer and soon I guess they will be trying to come inside too to escape the cold.....I enjoyed this one Jackie!!

You have Arachnids, I have Ladybugs....ahhh...
isn't nature grand? I haven't figured out yet, though,
which aspects of it are grand as regards insect invasions!
I thoroughly enjoyed your verse!

My house is full of spiders, but I have never sprayed because I am afraid the poison would kill my fish (I have tanks of fancy guppies).
I guess I've never worried much about them, although the brown recluse here is one of the most deadly spiders in the world, or so I am told.

This brought both smiles and cringes. The little beasts have been migrating indoors here as well. I loved your account!

Excellent, Jackie! And I disagree with Kate. I think you should watch the movie, Arachnid. I've watched it several times and I give it 5 stars!!

PS Want to borrow Buddy? He loves eating them.

Whatever you do don't watch the movie, "Arachnid." I am told by others if you have a fear of spiders this would make it worst. Creepy write! .......I don't like spiders either, but I usually will escort them back outside if I can. Sometimes they fight to much and then I kill them.
