I really do Tony!! I just hate it when I am showing homes and my buyer steps on a spider to kill it! They just don't get it!!
I had one of those on my deck last year. Beautiful!! Well, at first it scared the crap out of me, then I googled it. :)
I was afraid she was going to jump on me when I was taking the picture. I still don't think I would want it on my desk though! Yikes! I do the capture in a glass and place outside rescue....
I haven't seen a spider I could say I love yet but they sure make interesting photo ops.
I had a wonderful first grade teacher who taught us the virtues of spiders. Also, as an adult, I overheard a farmer in overalls responding to a woman in a farm supply store when she asked what kind of poison she could get to kill all the spiders around her house. He very slowly said, "I don't know M'am.......I don't kill spiders" If anyone knows about pest control, farmers do and this farmer knew not to kill spiders!
HI Pat - I think I would be terrified if I saw a spider that big. But if she is helping you keep the flies out, then more power to her!
Sharon---Since I have never had a spider chase me down the street, I tend to not be afraid of them. Now the things with all of the legs---those have me standing on a chair or running for cover!
Debra---Yes--you can say that. I find that more people than not agree with you!! :-)
