Right.... thats why you set up a camera at the bay window at your ex's house...

Huh? Can't watch it 24 hours a day, I was at work when the spiderlings broke out. Glad i had a camera on it, the kids enjoyed watching it, never experienced it before.

Spiders are fascinating.

Watch one spin a web some day, now that's craftsmanship and art, combined !

If one watches one long enough, every one will do something you've never seen before.
And each has it's own peculiar way of hunting, each is a master of what it does.

People are boring in comparison.

Spiders do creep me out, but not as much as snakes...

But jeez isn't this thread the stuff of nightmares!

I don't mind spiders really, so long as they maintain a reasonable distance.
I've always hated how they put their webs across paths though. I'm pretty tall and always get a face full of web, leaves me wondering where the spider is.
