Spiders are the good guys, they eat flies and mosquitoes!

Aw, c'mon! Spiders are cool! I sometimes find them inside the house, I take care to capture them carefully so as not to harm them, release them outside. I feel so sorry for daddy-long-legs, legs so long relative to body and so fragile. I feel like a mother first day of school releasing a daddy-long-legs into the yard. It's so ungainly, how can it survive?

Player #8483749, I caught a black widow in my house one night, crawling toward a window. I just carefully put her in a jar and set her free outside in the back alley. Those red hourglass markings kinda glow in the dark under a flashlight. As for this sand crab spider's brown recluse cousin, I used to see them hiding in boxes and behind curtains. They just want to be left alone, so they can eat your roaches, flies, and other pests.

VividPotion6704, They also kill us. Here in Australia we have quite a few nasty ones that will put you in hospital and one deadly one. The funnel web. Best advice. Done go near any of them.

YawningOracle52771, camel spiders aren’t actually spiders they belong to a subclass of arachnids. I saw plenty of them in Iraq...they are freaky looking but like all the others they just want to be left alone.

Player Elf Council, A friend was bitten by a brown recluse. Her leg was swollen and red.It took over a year to heal but still gave her problems. Spiders might be cool but don't get bitten!

I figure if a spider comes in my house he/she found a food source. Better 1 spider than 10 or 100 bugs it would have eaten.

If someone responds to a comment I make here, is there anyway to see their response?
I guess I’ll find out or maybe I won’t. Lts.

Spiders are cool! And, like ants, are good weather predictors. Huntsman will often come inside up to 48 hours before rain.

I keep spiders, mostly tarantulas, as pets. Well, it's a hobby really, and the community in the UK is heavily involved in breeding especially the ones that are becoming scarce in the wild due to mostly habitat destruction and catching for the pet trade. the aim being to get the numbers in the wild back up to sustainable levels again.

WaldoLydeker, Daddy long legs are good luck. I like keeping them around because they eat flies and mosquitoes
Ginger
WaldoLydeker, I hate to tell you because you seem so well-intentioned, but putting an indoor spider outside is normally fatal for it. if it lives inside then it often doesn't want to live outside.

WaldoLydeker, Hi indoor spiders don't survive outside that environment, ie outside the house. Same goes for those outside, they don't survive inside a home.

I want to know how they tested this. Was a spider of this species kept in a lab for a year to see how long it would survive without being fed or "watered?" How barbaric to not provide sustenance to a creature for such a long time!
