2275 Classy lass
I just had to share with you /eco/lites. I was in the bathroom (where I've cultivated a few arachnids who organically showed up) and managed to catch the lass in the picture capturing a fruit fly. Sadly, no pictures of the "work in progress" (sorry, I was captivated by nature in progress), but seeing it in action really revalidated my notion that tolerating spiders means fewer creepy crawlies around the place.

So, do you have and spider tales to share?

Spiders don't have tails, idiot.

I was quite surprised a couple of weeks ago when I was having a smoke by a hovering bundle of legs and insect torso. On closer inspection it turned out to be a tiny spider who'd caught a daddy long legs several times bigger than itself on the end of a long piece of free hanging web.

We've had some lovely big house spiders this summer. Apparently your typical house spider that you see scuttling around is a male looking for a mate. Did you know house spiders actually live for years?

I've also had a few daddy long legs spiders around my room. A couple fought for territory in the corner and now I've a little tangle of legs to vacuum up.

I too really like spiders. Garden spiders especially, it's a pleasure to watch them build their webs. A spiders limbs can look so alien at first, and the way they're constantly hunched down like a little predator, legs hanging above their bodies, makes them seem intimidating. But when you see a spider use all of its legs to build a web, they seem to make more sense, the way they use the back pair to pull the thread from themselves, the next pair up to pinch the web together where the new thread is to be placed, the next pair holding them steady as they do so, and the foremost legs feeling out for the next place to move.

It's quite hypnotic.

I had a spider abseil down from the ceiling about 4 inches from my face and just stop and look at me. I batted him gently away, and after about 5 minutes he pulled the same trick again but this time choosing the mrs to surprise. This was too much, and he had to be ejected via the window, Jazzy Jeff style.

I go and smoke in (my parents') back garden, behind the sheds, and am often treated to seeing a spider having recently captured some prey (a wasp, sometimes, or some other fly) and doing its stuff on it. Very interesting stuff.

What a way to die by spider. Trapped, paralyzed then injected with an enzyme to dissolve your insides. Then wrapped up to melt in your misery. Probably Lockheed are as we speak designing a weapon to do such a thing on humans.

We already have such weapons. Anyway, your lack of commas is highly disturbing.

I have very fond memories of this cartoon series. The animation is adorable and the guy who does the music is really talented. To this day the ending credits tune makes me feel warm and nostalgic.

I remember rushing home from secondary school to watch it because even by then this cartoon instantly reminded me of my childhood and was fun to watch.

Spider! is second only to Pingu in terms of personal heartbreaking nostalgia.

In Pingu, at times there's a universal sadness & innocence in their voices that transcends any language barrier.

Spider is still my favourite though.
