Spiders are perfectly okay in their own right, perform many useful functions for the rest of the world (keeping flies down, eg) and, IMHO can be very beautiful and fascinating.

Yeah, but not in my house - because I squish the nasty bastards.

I have a treaty (that they don't always honor). If they stay out of the house and away from me, I don't squish 'em. If they wander into my territory, I unleash the deadly stomp on 'em.

And then I waterboard 'em for good measure.

Ah. So that explains the buzzing hordes of disease-carrying mosquitoes and flies that hang out at dar512's place. The poor kid never quite grasped this whole "food chain" concept.

They get the same deal as the spiders. If they can't stay outside, their life is forfeit. I am deadly with a magazine.

So you've got spiders eating flies for you, huh? How's that working out for you? Don't the webs get in the way?

Wow, that's really pretty. And that yellow color is natural?
