Don’t squish, catch and release, relocate

*

Unharmful to man, viscous to bugs

**

Spins no webs, lives in “den.”

***

Eats black widows and brown recluses

****

Friendly spider to have in house

*****

Carries it’s young on it’s back

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.

    spiders are..intriguing. and are very important predators! i have had many jumpscares from the harmless huntsmans - they appear under shoes and hide in indoor plants and creep into your showers, but are friendly enough to assist with the pesty fiends that we call flies. Lovely poem! <3

  • Awww, they carry their young on their backs? I had no idea! That's so adorable! Lovely poem!

    I try to stay away from them pretty much no matter what

    still don't like them. it was a spider that put my husband in the hospital for seven days. I know some are good, and they are also a sign of protection, but I still don't like them.

    Ugh. Spiders are cute, some are not so cute. I try not to squish them, let them be if not in my way. Cute poem.
