My best bud Mike and I have made some sweet spider videos. It'd mean a lot to us if you'd watch and maybe suscribe to our youtube page. https://www.youtube.com/user/Tarantulahero
I would love to like them but can't help disliking them. I think it's something stretching way back into our ancestry that makes us want to avoid them. A natural instinct brought on because some of them are poisonous.
I'm with walsh...I'm a little ashamed of myself for being repulsed by any living thing, but spiders and bugs just skeev me out.
there is a gypsy superstition, that if you see a spider in the morning, it is bad luck, but in the evening, it is good luck also, that no outdoor spider should be killed if it is in the house, but let go outside. i'm not sure about house spiders. when i lived in montana the poisonous hobo spiders and i had an agreement. i would let them be so long as they stayed outside where they had their homes and food, but if they came into the house i would have to kill them, since they were harmful. i think i only found a couple in the house when i was living there for a year. i just caught them and let them go outside. i remember reading that all the bugs that spiders eat in one year weigh as much as all the people on the earth. so they're a force for good, even if they are creepy looking
Spiders are powerful totems and have great relevance to many aboriginal people. It's wise to treat them respectfully.
i have the splattered remains of a spider on my wall. i have left it there to remind me of better times.
yup I did that with a moth on my closet door...but mainly because it won't come off the door... I won't kill daddy long legs though...I enjoy watching them fuck other bugs upppp
I didn't sleep in my room for a week because a spider I was trying to kill fell behind my bed...I was convinced it was out to get me
Spiders are cool! You should try to catch them and put them outside. You can get tiny ones to climb onto a piece of paper. Small ones with a wad of tissues (it immobilizes them). Use a shoe box for the big ones. Ignore the sig pic.
Things with 8 legs eat things with 6 legs, which is good enough for me. Not to mention they're fucking awesome about HOW they eat shit.
