Spiders are good for your garden and your house too I reckon if you have little bugs bugging you. Hanna at This Garden Is Illegal has a great post about Wolf Spiders. I really don’t mind spiders but I really hate the hairy ones! Yes, that would be wolf spiders.

When I was in California, we had Black Widows all over the place. They didn’t bother me much except worrying that my kids might get bit. I was always cleaning them out of the patio in the backyard. I did find out that they can play dead and they can jump really well too!

These giant webs are the most bizarre though. This one was in Texas and contained 250 specimens in 12 families. Talk about a community, that’s going too far for me 😉 Have I given you the creepy crawly willies yet?
