    Same here, although they’re not catching much of the current infestation of Maple/Boxelder bugs.

    I like their look and dopey panicked movements when they notice you watching them, but the cute looks get old when there’s 20 sunbathing on the wrong side of the kitchen window.

      The only spiders I’ve seen want to eat those are cellar spiders, and even that seems reluctant on their part lol. Guess they really taste horrible or something.

        Wiki does say tastes bad for birds. Maybe some irritant? I know spiders don’t have taste buds, but chemical sensing hairs near the mouth instead doing the closest spider equivalent.

        Edit: their feet taste too? Damn.
