I am profoundly fond of spiders. One of the first books I read was Charlotte's Web...gave me a love of spiders. I have owned two tarantulas, Daisy and Vivienne. Fascinating beings. They clean their living environment by "sweeping" every week or so, then bundle the old webbing and throw it into a corner.

I do not kill bugs or insects of any kind, with one exception - black widow spiders. I hate, hate when I (rarely) have to kill one. The reason I do is because black widows truly are dangerous, even deadly. If a black widow bit one of my cats, the bite could kill the cat. My nephew was bit by a black widow (he was in his 30's) and wound up in the hospital.
But, yeah...I highly respect most spiders.
