I get a lot of house flies, so I ended up buying that clear plastic box on a stick like in a post above. But I ended up killing them try to get the door closed. So now I just pull out the vacuum & suck them up. Bugs are a dime a million, so I don't feel too bad when the go that way.

When I was living in Germany, I had giant wolf spiders! Awesome critters. I think that is what they were - dark grey & prickly legs. When they saw me moving, they'd freeze hoping I wouldn't see them. Sometimes I didn't and a foot was on top of them, but their prickly legs warned me not to step any further! I just see a multitude of daddy-long-legs and midgets spiders here.

I put them outside if it's Summer, late Spring or early Autumn, but let them stay in the house when the weather gets really cold.

I love spiders, ever since I was a little girl. The fact that most other humans dislike & fear them only makes me like spiders even more. I will put spiders outside if I think they make get hurt inside, otherwise I leave them alone. Sometimes they do startle me, like when I was weeding in the alley this summer & a very large cross orb weaver crawled onto my bicep. I thought a weed was tickling me. 8O :lol:

I kinda want a pet tarantula but I'll never be able to have one with my girlfriend's arachnophobia. I kinda want a pet scorpion too(they're $20 at PetSmart) but Cass doesn't want me to get one of those either :( She's worried about it being dangerous but that's the appeal about both those animals.
