Palmetto bugs can go extinct for all I care. Roaches that have learned to fly are just beyond disgusting...especially when they sneak into the house and land on your face at night!

So glad I no longer live within their natural range. *shudder* I used to be terrified they'd get into the baby's room.

No it would drown. Many more spiders lingering near you in and outside of your living space.

It's quite likely to in case you're sleeping... bon appétit!

For those who hate spiders, read this; especially at 7, "Human Uses"!

I'm fine with spiders as long as I never come across them. They need to be ninjas. A spider I can see is a failure and must seppuku.

Hissing... crawling... biting... what's next? Show tunes?

I try to rescue as many spiders as I can rather than kill them because my gf hates them, but I once read that putting house spiders outside causes them to freeze to death. :-(

Now I'm not really sure what to do - they don't really bother me. We once had a mouse running around that I kept my mouth shut about and even adopted it as an unofficial pet. It would actually come out and sit near me while I played computer games late at night and passed it the odd crumb of food. Not seen it for a while now though.

The moral of my tale - I have no idea.

Nope. Show tunes are only performed by frogs.

Looks amphibious to me. LOL

Seppuku is for samurai, honorable lords with consciousness who failed to perform adequately in their post (if only modern politicians had that custom!!!) or extremely shamed opponents, somehow stigmatized for life.

Ninjas are ninjas and if they ever need to suicide, they always take down at least one target with them. Beware whom you make an enemy out of, little spider is not a good target! Also, pets in history have regularly been used by ninjas, especially animals full of deadly poison and the capacity to kill a human, such as certain species of spiders! Spiders can make good ninjas, but not all of them. He he...

I always rescue spiders because: fuck mosquitoes and flies!

Actually I think only Bradley would be physically capable of doing that.

Personally, I'd sing about it.

You know thinking about it there's a lot of bugs and insects that I wouldn't rescue. But there are a couple I would. Namely mantises and ladybugs. Beyond that I'd really have to think about it.
