Regardless how good looking a spider might look, I'd still obliterate it . But I'd do it in a more entertaining way. Like getting a set of darts and aiming for it with those .

It must really suck to live over there in terms of spiders and what not. Seeing one of those things spring out of a hole would give me a heart attack. Do you guys get those things in your homes a lot? Aren't you concerned that while you sleep one might come into your room and have his wicked way with you (bite you )?

Yeh I'm really appreciating that I live in England at the moment. I get terriified when I see a normal garden spider

I salute you for your bravery of actually getting that close and taking a picture . I would have probably ran out of the house...unless that was the only door...then i would have carried a book around with me all day just in case it got too close to me.

LOL. They're really not that bad. Fun to watch. Especially when there's a bug in the web I love having them right outside one of our windows.
