I have lots of spiders. They love the arborvitaes. I took some pictures of this one spider that was on my porch. One picture looks like a ballet pose and the other one looks like a ninja pose. I have such talented spiders.

Excellent descriptions.

Nice. People are afraid of spiders, including me. However, they are beneficial in the garden as they trap other insects, I like to have around even less.

Yep — every time I see a big spider, I wonder how many of the unwelcome pest bugs it might have eaten to get that big….

Ick, I don't do spiders. They scare me. However, some don't.

I was very glad to come across this video since I had the impression that Yellow Sac Spider IS one to watch out for (though not AS venomous as Brown Recluse) and should be evicted when found — it sounds like they can be reinstated to “Patrol” status.

A close look at Cheiracanthium mildei, the Yellow Sac Spider, how it will behave (and affect you) living in your house, the bite and the venom, and other fascinating stuff.

I love garden spiders but in the house we have these almost microscopic spiders that spin webs in the corners of rooms and on light fixtures. I don't know what they hope to catch and eat since there is nothing ever in the nets when the webs are daily being removed by my clean freak wife...or me when I think about it.
