[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 75399, member: 3647"] That is why I don't kill spiders. On our patio, we have redwood beams about 4' apart. A couple weeks ago, a big ugly spider built a web in between them. Tink and I watched her do it. It was truly fascinating. Tink named her Charlotte. When she finished, there was a full web. It was beautiful. One day we walked by and saw that she had caught her dinner (a fly or something, wrapped in her webbing). And just the other day, she left. She really was ugly. BUT...better than mosquitos, which is Illinois' state bird. The mosquitos here...they are the size of Buicks. You hit one of them, thy fall to the ground, pick up their wings, give you the finger, and walk away. If they bite you, you can see the teeth marks. Bug spray does not faze them. They wear gas masks.
