    Yes! Absolutely yes! My wife hates it but our house is “no spider-kill” house". I have explained how we benefit from spiders in the house and how they’re nothing to be feared of multiple times. I love spiders and i wish more moved in!

    A couple months ago I had a big ass fly buzzing around my room and annoying the shit out of me for like 2 hours. Then the pitch of it changed and sounded more frantic so I looked up and a jumping spider was murdering it in the corner of my window. If I could have high fived that little guy I would have.

        Seriously! Whoever designed the animals really should have gotten feedback before publishing

        Spiders: usually harmless, often quite helpful. But has too many legs and a general creepy-crawly vibe. Save those for centipedes etc.

        Bears: best avoided, dangerous even without meaning to be. Fluffy as heck with those stupid cute little ears. Shoulda put them on something that I can hug without probably being mauled, maybe a really big dog breed.

    The last couple of years the earwigs have been terrible. They eat everything and my basil gets eaten down to the stalks. I’ve tried all kinds of things and nothing seems to work other than keeping the soil dry which only mildly helps. This year I noticed a spider hanging out in my basil plant. It kept getting bigger and my basil grew better than ever! Now I take extra care of my spider buddy!

        They’re my favorite kind of spider! We had a pet jumpy boi recently in our kitchen. Saw him for five days or so, usually on our stove or wall above our table, before he went away. I hope he’s alive and doing well.
