I think I've talked about spiders before. They're all over the place here. We get ones inside all the time. Unless they're venomous like redbacks or something, they're free to do their thing. Along with spiders, we have a multitude of strange creepy crawlies, and the spiders keep them under control somewhat, especially the cockroaches. Between the cats and the spiders, we don't seem to have any, so that's good considering the amount of food crumbs the kids spill all over the place.

The ones I find the most fascinating (and which are responsible for catching cockies) are huntsmen spiders. They can grow quite large, but they're pretty harmless. They can bite, but I've never known one to. They'd make good pets as they're pretty docile.
