Bloody Hell is that thing real? Oh No that would have to go i can't stand bugs of any kind.
It is quite real. That is to say, it is a large male European garden spider who's wandered into my mountain cabin and set up shop in my kitchen on a lamp that is here. And I'm glad he's there; his purpose is to eat bugs. He's been on that lamp for three days now; I check on him regularly. Today his web is more irregular than it was in those other pics I posted.

I'd carefully catch it and take it outside. I don't mind insects or arachnids-just not inside my home.
It's tricky, where I am; I live in a forest, in a log cabin. Such creatures abound here; I can either get used to them (and, personally, I enjoy most of them), or be driven crazy. They
are actually driving the wife slightly nuts. But, they bother me not a whit; spiders, especially, are welcome, for they will eat more annoying things; seldom do garden spiders wander in here, but there are frequently cellar spiders, who typically live with humans. Both are
completely harmles, of course, even though they are scary looking.
That guy on the lamp just sits there, doesn't bother anyone other than annoying flying insects which find their way inside here; I smile whenever I see him, and still count him as a blessing from Melikki. But, I've got an excuse: I'm crazy.
Good fortune,
