Had to evict a big ass spider from my room today and was reminded of this meme template. At least it’s easier to evict spiders than cats, the latter don’t fit in measuring cups.

      For real.
      Black Widows and Brown Recluses, no thank you.
      Cellar spiders and jumping spiders - you’re good.

      Not saying you should befriend black widows or anything but they are actually pretty docile and will only bite in extreme situations when they are trapped and it’s the only option. Typically they will just pretend to be dead.

        Problem is that’s a very common situation, like when they’re wedged in a plant pot, in drainage holes along the house, in the A/C unit, in the hose reel, or places in the yard the dog will sniff. Especially when they nest there and get defensive over their silk ball.

        I’d want to leave them alone. But its simply not practical.
