#don't kill spiders

Spider

For like... the second time in a long time, I actually let a spider live. It hung down in front of me in the car and I freaked for a moment, had the thought of smashing it, then decided against it. Spiders love me, they come around as often as possible. Spider is a noble being and has many lessons to share. I’m pretty proud that I pushed my fear away long enough to let it climb back up its little rope and onto the visor. I hope it survives well.

Myth: House spiders belong “back outside”

If you put a house spider out in the yard, you aren't doing it any favor; it probably won't survive there.

Myth: House spiders belong “back outside”

By Rod Crawford

Myth: "I'm very kind to spiders; when I find one in the house, I put it back outside instead of killing it."

Fact: You can't put something "back" outside that was never outside in the first place. Although some house spider species can survive outdoors, most don't do well there, and some (which are native to other climates) will perish rather quickly when removed from the protective indoor habitat. You're not doing them a favor.

In any case, house spiders are mostly harmless and beneficial. Human property rights mean nothing to other species. There was spider habitat for millions of years where your home is now. My advice is, "just wave as they go by."

It was a big spider, OK?

You make

Me say I killed a

Dog; fur and muscle

Stucco on cracked plaster

Hung on mandible nail

Yet I am framed in the

Guilty hairs sprouting

From my nailbeds,

Orphans of the arbor

Felled off your flayed back

When I tell

It foams, wrestling

As we dance Colorado

Into the walls, a

Splintering meteorite of

Limbs leaking your

Miasmatic oil, garnish,

Struggle’s bitter hue

Pallet of the bastard’s guts

Now about my home

i've never been a big fan of spiders but the one who lives in my succulent's flowerpot is my buddy

The spider I've been trying to catch in my apartment has been evading me for a week now. At this point, it needs to start paying rent and contributing to household chores

Every living creature deserves your respect.

None of uf asked to be here - wether it's you or the bee or the bird or the cat. None of uf asked to be born.

Sg go ahead and be a kind person; put some water outside (with stones in it so the bugs won't drown), plant some actual blooming flowers (common to the plade your living at, no neophytes!!), keep some corners for natures other creatures to live in.

Forgive the qiant mosquite things when they flee into your home because there's a storm outside. Accept the spider in that corner you never clean anyway.

And don't use pestizides. don't use them. They're killing thing, they're meant to kill things and that is all of their purpose.

don't be a human arsehole just because things are not the same species ase you.
