      Nope, not at all.
      I consider the majority of them to be the law enforcement officers to the insect world.
      (Before you even start, people such as Stu, yes, I already know that they are not insects themselves, and that is not what I wrote above, I intentionally used the phrase “to the insect world” as opposed to “of the insect world. Grrrrrrr.)

    Only the poisonous ones like the black widow, the rest are my friends.  They are just trying to live life like every other living thing.  I let them be, if indoors I gently take them outside.  Spiders are a vital part of the eco system.

    I am not afraid but I also do not want any physical contact with them.

    Only the ones that can kill.

    No, since venomous spiders are not native to Minnesota I have little reason to be afraid.

      Jus’ sayin’; I’m not native to Minnesota either. 


      (If that finally gets me in the door, I can be there in under 24 hours.)

    Is that a butterfly catcher, the bottom looks open so it could be a seal catcher, kind of small for that however.

      Yes it is a butterfly net. I have quite a wide variety of hobbies and interests.

    OOOOO, you just keep getting more desirable.  If you ever decide to leave your harem and hook up permanently, give me a chance.  :  )

      I don’t know if that’s in my DNA, but there’s a hematologist I have my eye on who can run tests for you.

    No, spiders are friendly. I had a pet huntsman when I was a kid. Except the Sydney funnel web, I didn't make friends with those. Deadly AND aggressive, packs a punch that makes a black widow's bite a love tap by comparison.

    You must live in Australia.  I've heard about the Huntsman spider and none of it was good.

    It's ALL good. Utterly harmless to humans, sudden death to pests like roaches, silverfish etc. They've even been known to tackle mice.

    No.










    PLOT SPOILER!!!





    But the end of the original "The Fly" movie terrified me when I first saw it as a young boy. The thought still scares me.

    Do you know what creeps into my memory? A stark subconscience dream of yelling in increasing loudness: hey hey hey Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!, While staring at the living room photos in front of me stationary where I was neglected and tripping on acid a lot in my youth. Save me maybe. Listen to me for a change. It goes along with the I wasn't going to survive possibility. I'm doomed! This post was edited by CosmicWunderkind at September 23, 2023 2:38 PM MDT

    You know? Somebody told me if I had a brain, I'd be dangerous. I believe it. Even as I was happy they gave me brain control drugs after living on cough syrup for two and a half years. I believed in that. Nobody knows. I thought everything was opulent. They said we're going to give your brain something and I said: Okay! I suspect even today they are laughing and everyone knows.
