Let’s Talk About Spiders!

By mcash70

We all know that spiders are great in the garden to help control insects, but not so great when they come inside the house. Fall is a bad time of year for this as the spiders are looking for a warm place to “hang out" for the winter.

Green, I knew that! Green Grin! But thanks for educating those that didn't! I tip my hat to you.

I don't get those in the house too often, they aren't as scary as the wolf and other fast moving big big brown ones. Crying

Thanks Green! I tip my hat to you. I like photographing bugs and spiders, a few years ago, I watched an Orb-weaver for about 20 minutes making it's web on a peony! Hilarious!

The great thing about Daddy-long-legs around here is that if they're around, the Black Widows move on. Not sure why or how, but I've witnessed it myself.
In the end, only kindness matters.

Science is not the answer, it is the question.

It's because Daddy Long Leg's are actually predators on spiders and hunt and kill them as food, including the Black Widow. nodding

I have lots of Daddy-long legs and not too many garden spiders and that's probably why. nodding
