@Oaktavia man i hate spiders, but as far as i know, the pumpkin spiders and banana spiders we get all over our house are harmless, but for sure freaky looking. The banana spiders are cool because they stay put, and their webs have like a lightning bolt in the middle, those are my fave. Another thing we get a lot of is frogs and toads due to the stream running thru our yard.

@Oaktavia btw, hope you caught that sucker before he bit ya! I did a lot of research on both chiggers and ticks back in the day when i used to be a land surveyor - they're generally pretty harmless but are hella sneaky!

@WhiskeySandwich I love spiders hahaha they are "my friends" but I don't like them in my house as I have two dogs. Man I wish I had frogs and toads around my house. The little kid in my is green with envy
-
@Oaktavia LOL yeah, I don't like them in the house, but outside I usually just let them be. The ones I mentioned are cool to look at, and they generally help with the crazy amount of winged menaces like mosquitoes and whatnot. They all have their place and I don't like to disturb anything I don't need to - to avoid disrupting the balance. We name all of the regulars lol. Frogs, snakes, spiders, etc, even the blue tailed skinks we have around.

@WhiskeySandwich That's rad man, sounds like we have a lot in common, nature and denim-wise. I have only seen one blue tailed skink and it was at my Nana's in Prince Frederick.
-
@Oaktavia hell yeah brother! I'm about 5 minutes ride from there, and I live in the sticks, so we have loads of em. All kinds of wildlife coming through our place, we just enjoy spotting them.

In the field yesterday ran across this mid-sized tarantula. They are never small, this one was about 10 cm diameter. Been a long time since I last saw one. She was out hunting as the sun fizzled out and things began to cool down. Only detedted us when we were 3 mts away and froze in this position.
