Not to worry Brenden. The only spiders around here that meet an early demise are the Black or Brown Widows and the Brown Recluse. We tend to be rather protective of spiders, walking sticks, Mantids and strangely, their predators, frogs, toads, lizards and gekkos.
I will admit though that I will never get used to walking into one of the Argiope's webs spanning the drive way at night.
