    How come you didn’t you deal with it when you first saw it?

    Spiders are literally thirsty. They're attracted to water so they can easily get trapped in the tub or sink. I smacked a big one crawling up the wall and it fell behind the couch. The next morning...there it was all wizened in the middle of the floor. I felt sad because it worked so hard to survive. :/ I dunno. Maybe let it get that drink of water and go on its merry way.

    Are they pouring water in there to trap it? Or keep it liking the environment as was mentioned above, they like water?

    THIS is a sweet revenge plot!

    Wonder if it was big enough to require a leash?

    Would much rather have a spider on the loose than a wasp. Those things are sneaky and hurtful.

    THIS! You are just going to have to light the house on fire and walk away...
  • Tip for anyone reading this; if you see a spider in your bath, make a ladder for it out of toilet roll, just put some over and inside the bath and leave it there.
    The spider will climb up and see it's self out.

    I once heard killing spiders in your house was bad luck and me being crazy superstitious, I've never done it since. 🤣
    Also, they're just little critters (here in the UK anyway...) so I'd feel bad if I were to kill one. They're creepy af yes but they usually just keep themselves to themselves.

    Yeh, I hear Australia has spiders the size of dinner plates. So I guess toilet paper would be useless, maybe bed sheets? :)

    When I was growing up, my Dad would never kill a bug in the house. He'd catch it in a glass and put it outside. Even in winter...we'd say "Dad, it's going to freeze to death outside anyways." But I think he didn't want to be the one to directly kill it.

    Mom, on the other hand, would just squish the thing, as long as Dad was not around.

    I'm like your dad in that way, I even just pick them up with my hands and toss them out the window (Even if it means screaming whilst im doing it 🤣) .

    I'm quite fond of insects actually, ever since I found an iridescent beetle at a festival. (No drugs were involved! 😳🤣It really was iridescent, it looked the way petrol does when it gets into a wet pavement) some give me the creeps, like spiders, but they're just little creatures doing their thing, they're amazing really.
    I have a bee nest in my wall atm and I feel very proud/protective over it 😆
    I'd also really love to be able to see inside a cocoon when the caterpillar is morphing.🤩 I have caterpillars on a bush in my garden and they're magpie moths, the cocoons look like wasps and they wiggle around if you touch them to deter predators.. How cool is that!? 😁



    Anyway, sorry for derailing your old ish thread op 😊

  • Oh god i just realised my username and now I'm rambling about bugs. 🤦‍♀️
    I'm not a crazy bug person.. I just appreciate them 🤣💜
