Here’s a baby step towards spider tolerance: neither of those spiders can make a Charlotte-type web. So, any spider you see hanging out in one of these 🕸️ is not only not a danger to you, she’s taking prey and space away from the scary ones, so you want more like her to crowd them out.

I love the pointy boys that make really good webs!

I like these Halloween orange guys! Their web lines look too thin to hold them. Took me awhile to find a picture where the web wasn’t torn, because they like to build where light is coming from a window or door at night, to catch night bugs, so people tend to find them by walking into it face-first in the morning. But they’re good guys!
