8 legged critters don't bother me. Legless shoulderless reptiles do. Farkin emmissaries of Satan, every last one of 'em.
I don't mind spiders. Snakes, either. Ants are only so-so, but roaches are high on my "must squish" list.Yeah, what is it with the spiders this year? They are everywhere, inside and out. Saw an enormous huntsman spider on the lanai last week, there was a dessicated tree frog on the floor beneath his hidey-hole.
Spotted two banana spiders in the yard so far this week. Haven't been down to the creek in a while, but when I go I'll be waving a branch around. Usually there are a few with their webs stretched across the path.
