Wow, the Redlands Sunset is just lovely, I love that color combination!
So glad to hear I'm not the only one who appreciates the company of spiders, Melanie! They are beneficial, and if they're in an area there's probably some other bug there that they're eating, I figure.
I have the white ones with the red spines that look like little crabs inhabiting the top portion of my pool cage, and when they have nice webs going, there are way fewer no-see-ums inside the cage! Quite sure they help keep the bugs off my orchids as well. When they put one of their 'guy wires' down into the walking space, I carefully move it to another attachment point higher up. Haven't been bothered by them yet! My cleaning lady still thinks I'm off my rocker, though.
She kills the ones she finds in the house, but when she started messing with my pets in the cage, I had to stop her!
