how about this? jumping spiders are actually benificial as the are a hunting spider which means you don't have to deal with their webs, and they eat mosquitos and other annoying bugs.
You think that was something.
During the summer since we lived int he country our house would be over run with jumping spiders.
My grandmother would be sitting in the living room eating a sandwich see one those spiders making its way to her she slap the shit out of it killing it than wipe her hand on her apron and countine eating like nothing happen.
(O.o)
At least when it happen while cooking she wash her hands lol. But dear lord it grossed me out.
I always carried a small cup and would trap them then toss them outside because they were so cute.
I can't bear the squish or crunch, so I trap them under glass vases and then stack books on top just in case the spider muscles then off. The release past I usually delegate :-)
This is a somewhat common story to motorcyclists- bikes tend to be kept where spiders dwell, offer lots of little nooks and crannies, and don’t have really any of the measures stopping spiders from getting in them as cars. I’ve had this happen once to me as well- imagine, you get on your bike- mind you, I don’t store my helmet on the bike. I take it with me. But if I stop I’ll rest my gloves, helmet, etc. on the bike while I get gas or stow my gear to park, or dawn it when returning. So- imagine you get on your bike in all your gear- full face helmet. You’re riding and a spider is in your helmet with you. If you freak out you die. If it’s a busy road or freeway you can’t stop. You can’t take your helmet off easily and control your bike. You and the spider must become close pals for the duration.
I’m sorry catfluff. I know. For many reasons I prefer a “live and let live” or “catch and release” method with spiders and most other things. However- Spiders combine many things which often provoke an attitude of violence in humans. They cannot be controlled, which most humans do not like, and to most, spiders represent an unknown and or alien element- they are vastly different and when we combine those things with proximity, humans first response is often simply to destroy a thing rather than make the effort to understand and coexist.
