    People of Earth, your attention, please. As you will no doubt be aware, the plans for development of the outlying regions of the Galaxy require the building of a hyperspatial express route through your star system. And regrettably, your planet is one of those scheduled for demolition.

    The process will take slightly less than two of your Earth minutes. Thank you.

        Jumping spiders are very nice pets, a lot of people have it as such. They are smart enough to recognise their owner and even to learn tricks.

    After a shower a giant crab spider dropped out of my towel, instinctually I knew only one of us would leave that bathroom alive.

      Spiders eat those things. That guy up there called those eating meat hypocrites but they’re a little off missing this fact.

      People who save spiders and eat meat do it because they’re not hypocrites. They respect their own kind.

    I started releasing rather than killing spiders after reading “Blade Runner: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”

    In that future, most animals have disappeared and people consider the sight of a spider as an extraordinary thing. Sparing a single spider might be vain, but it feels right knowing insect/spider population is quickly decreasing.

          I had to try to get a silverfish out of a sink not long ago and I’m pretty sure I ended up killing the poor thing anyway. They’re so hard to handle.

    House-dwelling spiders are usually adapted to life inside the house (likely cave-dwelling species). Their survival rate outside is not very good.

      Does not apply so much in warm weather countries. All the spiders that come into our house are also easily found loving life outside (Australia). I just gently move them out, except daddy long-legs, generally let some of them stay as pest control.

        Ahhh okay. I live in Canada and I frequently see spiders roaming my house when it’s well below freezing outside. I’m pretty confident they will not survive out in the snow.

      Maybe it depends on where you live, but I always find the same spiders living in gardens or on the side of a shed or something, so I’ve never been worried about that except in winter.

      Same here, although they’re not catching much of the current infestation of Maple/Boxelder bugs.

      I like their look and dopey panicked movements when they notice you watching them, but the cute looks get old when there’s 20 sunbathing on the wrong side of the kitchen window.

        The only spiders I’ve seen want to eat those are cellar spiders, and even that seems reluctant on their part lol. Guess they really taste horrible or something.

          Wiki does say tastes bad for birds. Maybe some irritant? I know spiders don’t have taste buds, but chemical sensing hairs near the mouth instead doing the closest spider equivalent.

          Edit: their feet taste too? Damn.

      Hum… I tried to maintain that philosophy until they attracted a wanderer that I was unable to get rid of for 2 days until it ate all the spiders. Also, one of them attacked me, what wasn’t a big issue, but I prefer not to happen again.

      Now I kill them all.
