I am allied with spiders against mosquitoes and bedbugs. I don't take down their webs (unless they're in the way) and they eat hundreds of the fuckers. They're also fun to watch sometimes.
I wish my wife didn't have some gnarly arachnophobia. The "spiders are beneficial" argument doesn't work :(
I have been doing this to myself for over a year, and nowadays I think tarantulas are cute, and I'm looking forward to learning to tolerate harvestmen.
Harvestmen are fine tho, they have nearly invisible legs, and legs are what repulsme me so hard.
Fuck huntsman spiders.
is this cute enough
