You should have sent her home!(longish)

We also have the really pretty yellow argiope (sp?) spiders that make the HUGE webs and love to eat grasshoppers!

Is this the spider you were talking about?

In any case, if they stay outside and out of my way, I'll leave 'em alone, but once they get inside the house, they're toast!

Me too. Any bug, unless it's something obviously benign like a ladybug, gets smooshed if it invades my home. I've heard too many ugly stories about black widows and brown recluses to take any chances.

Black widows aren't the worst of the widow clan. But they get vacuumed if I spot 'em. Don't like widows. They squick me out.

The one bug I won't have anything to do with, however is the Jerusalem cricket. *shudder*
And then there's his creepier cousin.

Daddy Longlegs are the only spiders allowed in my house. I was raised to think certain spiders were good luck, but the way I look at it, the Longlegs family leaves me and mine alone, and kills any bugs/icky spiders that do come in. Plus they take hints when I wave the broom at them to get out of the way so I can clean up the corpses.

I had never heard of the brown recluse until I moved to the midwest and was promptly bitten by one while re-arranging furniture.

I had no clue what was going on, I left the bite untreated for weeks (super phobic about Doctors offices). Now I have a permanent scar the size of a silver dollar on my shin and a spider phobia as well.
