Bad luck to kill spiders.

Like 013 mentions....

Preferred protein source is other insects. Occasionally they will chew on some leaf surface but it seems that the benefits of a spider outweigh the bad. Good chance that spiders will eat more Mites than a batch of Ladybugs.

Plus sometimes they look really psychedelic in shape or color. This one hung around for a few days and then moved on.

Vermin are Vermin, they belong outside. Yellow sticky traps catch more bugs than a spider web will. spiders are carnivorous... what if you, are on the menu. stomp his bug ass

 

[Lerugged]

I'm all for them. They keep my deck plants clear of all sorts of bugs.

Love em outdoors, unless it's those giant ones that eat birds

My little green buddy is outside.

And it would take a huge spider to think about putting me in its menu .
