one about that size decided to make a web across my bathroom door. good morning, whoa.
I still have pictures of the asshole orb weaver that decided to bar me from leaving my house at freaking five o’clock in the morning. That was a very, very unpleasant realization. Then there was another one that decided to make my entire cabin (it was a one roomer, so very wide for the kitchen/living room) it’s webspace. Like, I’m okay if they build a web across my window, or in a corner, but not in my areas. They aren’t paying enough of the rent to get that privilege.
run into them outside this time of year, walking to the car. used fly zapper on inside guy. darwin
Somehow, my kid grew up afraid of bugs. He moved back in with me recently. I had a spider buddy in the kitchen, small, with a web in a corner. He’d been there all summer. We didn’t bother each other.
My kid got rid of him.
Fortunately, my kid doesn’t go in the garage much. He’d find the black widow residing in a corner which has been home to a black widow since before I moved in almost 30 years ago. I bought the house new-built, she moved in before me. She doesn’t bother me, I don’t bother her. In fact, I’m the interloper in her history. (Obviously, not the same black widow.)
I wonder how many kids get bit by black widow’s because their parents didn’t recognize them as dangerous
Can you please write a metal-as-fuck version of Charlotte’s Web where your black widow blood line watches you work on cars, or just live life or whatever?
I am imagining her as kind of a black leather halloween catwoman punk or slutty version of the original, but only you can tell her real story.
I don’t know how to tell you but spiders only live up to 3 years.
Good news: You missed a number of funerals.
Bad News: you missed a few birthdays
They make the best pets. You don’t even need to feed them.
Well just regularly clean your house properly and then there will be no food for insects and thus no prey for them to eat and thus they will not be in your house.
Bologna. There was never a flying insect in my cabin, and yet two assholes decided to build giant webs in the middle. Spiders aren’t intelligent enough to track insect movement patterns and then build their webs.
They also have to comply with the laws of physics and die if they don’t get enough food.
Also for every flying insect that you see, there are usually 20 times that many flying insects that you didn’t.
Yes, and they probably would have died eventually, if I had let them survive to that point. Also, 0x20 is still 0.
No, 0x20 is the space character
I ascii what you did there… Well 0x20 you, then!
Spiders eat bedbugs, so that’s nice.
Spiders eat bedbugs, so that’s nice.
Cockroaches eat bedbugs too. But I don’t think spiders or roaches can eat them fast enough to outdo their reproductive rate during an infestation.
I don’5 want a spider min my bed thought
If spiders are in your house, then something for them to eat is in your house too.
Massive lie ,how come old closed house are full of spider and their never ending web?
cannibalistic spiders?
Umm no? Cannibalism is least part of a diet of a spider
I will take spiders over moths any day tbh
So there is a type of spray used on boats to get rid of spiders. As you can imagine, having an in closed space near the water is prime real estate for spiders. The spray works by making it impossible for spiders to make webs around it. You just use it on all your window frames. Spiders won’t pass those lines because they sense that they can"t make webs there. I use the one from Yachticon, don’t know if you can order it everywhere, but it works wonders.
I’ve seen many of you just chilling in your respective corners, not wanting fuckall to do with us gigantic bastards. With you, there were no mosquitoes.
You homies were chill af, and though it took great effort to overcome the fear, you and yours did not disappoint. Yours have quietly and peacefully traveled my home, often very close to me, and I watched you watching me.
Respect, spiderhomies. Mad respect, and may I continue to remember that you really just want to live, just as we do.
your spiderbabies are terrifying af and could you guys pls make bedbugs your mortal enemy pls bc fuck those assholes thank you for your fantastic work kbye 🤘 rock on spiderhomies
Most spiders do eat bed bugs!
Baby orb weavers are yellow with a black dot on their butt. Not terrifying at all.
Adult orb weavers are so big they give people heart attacks when they accidentally walk into a web. They don’t need to bite you at all.
i like to have a couple wolf spiders hanging around. they stay out of my way and eat the more annoying bugs.
Happy to have spiders in my home until I find one in the shower with me. They don’t understand how dangerous the shower is for them; I’ve lost too many good spiders to drowning.
You probably haven’t. Spiders can trap air with the hair on their skin and can survive a trip down the drain. They’ll probably climb back up again once it’s dry.
The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout
down came the rain and washed the spider out
but vice versa
Never got fear of spiders, i learned pretty quick they arent dangerous.
I dare you to sleep in a bad full of them.
I like spirderbros.
We have no guarantee that you are human, you could be a spider on the internet spreading pro-Spider sentiment!
A cockroach spreading anti-spider propaganda.
Or worse, they could be Australian!
There are many spiderbros… we are legion!
We have no guarantees that you’re human, you could be a mosquito spreading anti-spider sentiment!
Here’s a flamethrower
You can put your life savings right over here
Why? Spiders are awesome. They take care of any other bugs, and generally mind their own business.
Humans like to kill things, until there is nothing left to kill but ourselves.
Ooh, edgy!
I guess so, but it is a serious thing, mass extinction of insects etc. Is in no way a good thing.
