Well I haven’t seen too many spiders at our house since February, but the weather’s been getting warmer so I have been keeping my window open. Which is obviously a big mistake, since it’s so close to the ground and there’s leafy ground cover all over the place outside. Spider territory.
First I saw this little guy crawling up the wall. I am hoping he’s the same one that was in my clothes drawer last week, and there’s not another massive spider lying in wait for me somewhere in my room. So I got up to crush the little fella and close my window, when I move a pillow or two and there’s that massive beast in the pic above right there! I crapped my pants and got the broom.
So, as you can see I tasted victory.
In case you’re wondering, yes this violence was necessary, otherwise there’s no way I’d be sleeping tonight, with the possibility of being swallowed whole by a giant arachnid.
No animals were harmed in the making of this post. Only spiders, whose terrifying appearance and threat of painful (but not too toxic, in the case of the huntsman) bites justify their ruthless slaughter.
