Ya, we used to have more of the little fat slow white ones (orb weavers I think) around when I was a kid, and other than cobwebs all over the place, they never gave us trouble. I generally try not to mess with them though, or I’ll do a catch and release. But between the Brown Recluse bite I got as a teenager that took almost an entire year to heal and the other non-poisionous bites I have gotten while asleep or watching tv that take 6 weeks to heal, it’s insta-death if any others are found inside my house.
I just realized that I am a spider racist. White and yellow get the gentle touch, but black and brown are going down.
I guess I understand that if they are causing so much problems. Ive never lived in a country where they can actually cause harm to humans and are inside houses.
