My glasses were expensive enough.  I'd hate to have to pay for those.  Of course, maybe spare sets of eyes wouldn't be such a bad thing, it they worked better than the first set.

Nope. Too many eyes 

and too many horrible hairy legs

and a fat hairy body 

…and all the other nightmare stuff

Here we've been talking about killing the spider when it's our animal guide that has been supplying us with the creativity to write.  All hail the spider and Tarantula - our new muses and gods of creativity.

Let's see... by fire, using a foot, hitting it with a heavy object, using insecticide, starvation, drowning, attacked by birds, reptiles, cats, dogs, other spiders, some insects, eaten by people as delicacies... damn, and we're scared of them?

Not to mention some obscure, but just as lethal ways.

 

 

(Yes, yes, I know only six legs. I was going to try to pencil in a couple more, but then decided not to, get over it.)

Ah, just as I mentioned in my list above - hitting the spider with a heavy object!  😈

Yeah but you don't want to feel the pain when said stranger punches you on the nose squishing a spider on your face, lol.

A psychological ploy to confuse those with arachnophobia, but I don't think it's going to work.

Yes they do! However, and please don't take any offense, I take great comfort in knowing that between them and me there is(are) oceans and half the planet, about......

Kilometers: 14150.94 km. / Miles: 8792.99 miles. / Nautical Miles: 7635.83 NM. ✈️ Estimated flight time: 15.51 hours and that really makes my day.

Best wishes,

I  think it's time for a meteor strike to seal up the trapdoors.  If it was good enough for the dinosaurs, I think it's good enough to get rid of these critters too.

But spiders made it through the K-T extinction, I'm not sure another meteor strike would help.

It would if it landed on their nests!
