Good article, thanks

Interesting, but no way a big ball of spiders in my house.

southern house spider with cockroach!

Above spider lives behind a painting... the only time I've ever seen her... was when she caught that nasty cockroach...

Now... these cute little jumping spiders... These I see fairly often...



Absolutely adorable! That's a nasty fly in it's mouth...

A couple of days ago I noticed an anole playing hide and seek on my plant table... too cute for words!
