(4,056 posts)6. I think it's kinda cool.
Looks like a spider you wouldn't see in the US, but obviously I'm wrong. No arachnophobia here--spiders kill insects, like Mosquitos, which I despise far more than any eight legged life form.

(47,675 posts)7. Yep - no kill rule here as well. Outside, the tiniest little ones keep finding the brim of my hat.
You know that sensation when you see a spec but can't figure out what it is? They walk around the brim. I take my hat off, get them onto my fingers and find a safe place to let them go. One poof and they usually throw out a line and I can ease them onto another plant. They're WAY too small to try to pick up. Bigger ones I just grab and take to a safer place.
