“Today is Save a Spider Day! It was created to promote awareness that spiders are important parts of the ecosystem and valuable to humans for their contributions in pest control. Many people have phobias to spiders, but there is little reason to fear them. If you do find a spider outside, leave it be and if it scares you, move away from it. If you find one in your garage, shed or home, consider leaving it be as well. It is likely there to feed on other home invaders or it is just passing through and will leave on its own. If you are too freaked out to share some space with a docile arachnid, then consider carefully removing it from your dwelling rather than simply wacking it. if you can't do it, find someone less fearful to assist you.”---via Peppermint Narwhal Creative
