I thought I was doing so well! Not wanting my 2 year old daughter to be afraid of such an amazing creature, I encourage curiousity about spiders. There's a beautiful big one who has built a web near the garage this weekend. We make sure to try to spot her whilst she hides out in the flowers. I'm not afraid of spiders. But I had a dream where the house was over run by spiders, and now I'm freaked out! I woke up, terrified that they've invaded! I can just say I'm thrilled to not be in the southwest! Eek.

Spiders outside are fine, but when they migrate inside I'm seriously creeped out. Sorry for the graphic detail, Erica!

I'm with you, this is an invasion. Get a hockey mask and some thick gloves. It's going to get messy. I battled 2 spiders inside my car while careening home from my Collection Development class.

They seem to think our house is a haven of warmth and shelter, although I have a different thought on the matter. Especially when the hobo spiders appear: huge, hairy arachnids with tempers. If you open the shower curtain some groggy morning in anticipation of taking a shower, a hobo spider interested in taking up residence will not look kindly at being disturbed. Said nasty spider will then race, full speed, right toward you, mandibles at full salute in order to look even more horrible. NOT the way to start a morning.

We had a springtime centipede migration, and those suckers are messy to squash.
