Ever think about that? If you turn around right now, I can give you about a 85% chance there's a spider back there. Make sure to look above your head, too. Don't you just hate that itchy feeling you get when you start thinking about spiders and a dust mote so much as lands on you? One time I was taking a poo poo in an unfinished bathroom we were modeling and had a large, two-inch wide wolf spider run out from under the toilet seat and utilize my rear end cheeks as an expedient bridge to the other side of the seat. It somehow managed to avoid both my dangling sack and the crowning turd that was the sole thing preventing me from leaping up and sprinting screaming from the horrible caress of a creature on my most vulnerable of parts. The threat of 'butt spiders' became a running joke in our work crew after that. Always lift the seat first, friends. Another time when I was about twelve I helped a relative clear out his storage unit after he got divorced. He hadn't been in there in months and the thing had been infested with hundreds of pholcid spiders. Every box I picked up would have spiders streaming off by strands of web, many holding engorged egg sacs in their jaws. The less pleasant experience were the ones who decided going up beat going down and used by arms as their path. By the end of the day I'd become so desensitized that I didn't even notice them crawling on my head unless they wandered onto my face. What's your most memorable spider experience?

Some spiders love water https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ2YsTCygeE Other spiders are much like goons  They're interesting. I found out the reason why spiders lay so many eggs on average is because the ovaries of the female spider are loving huge.

make sure you get your spiders from a reputable breeder, if you get a spider at petco you're probably supporting some lovely spider mill out in the country

pound for pound, spider silk is the strongest material there is. however it cant be farmed because the spiders always eat each other.

Some spiders do nothing. Other spiders are the super speed crack cocaine addicts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgUnRRep5YQ Others take no poo poo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_OCaxRolBc Also some people have played with the genes of spiders and insects, they found out both can have the wrong appendages grow where the appendages shouldn't grow, like legs growing in the place of fruit fly antennae and walking legs in the place of fangs. Very interesting read if you can follow along the genetics. http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/282/1808/20150698

Spiders eat bugs, so that's okay, I guess. I'm kinda used to seeing them at this point and don't really get creeped out anymore.

They should just breed them with those gross bag worm things. Those seems as strong as webs.

Every night I walk through my gate after work and walk through a million spider webs and just pray for death but it never comes and the webs continue to attach to my skin and trail behind me flowing with the wind like ghost tendrils and the spiders sit in the trees haunting me laughing silently watching with their 8000 eyes and then i dream a giant apider takes me on its back and we fly away to bali and then im surfing in the ocean and maybe a whale meets me and now i have a new friend  good night!

From the article for those too lazy to read it You can make certain appendages grow in the place of others depending on the genes you play with. More legs for all! Bonus spider embryo:

Spiders are very important for the Eco system and pest control. If you have lots of flies and Mosquitos and pests and then you see some spiders making webs in the vicinity, they are there to help you out.

i was camping up in northern minnesota, sharing a tent with a couple friends, woke up early one morning and there was a huge wolf spider sewing her egg sac onto the sleeping bag of the guy next to me, a couple inches from my face. i dont normally mind spiders that much but that is an unpleasant way to wake up.

every person eats 7 spiders each year, mostly during sleep. I find it easier to just get them out of the way all at once, and eat my seven on New Year's, and wash 'em down with a big glass of Tang (I don't drink).
