My basement has been the site of a spider vs house centipede turf war for at least a decade.

I like having a house full of tiny predators.
It tickles me.

I used to have a big problem in my apartment in Japan until I decided to let the little jumping spiders have free reign.

Love your spiders!

Yeah, I’m pretty cool with team spider as long as they stay out of the shower. Those house centipedes can get fucked.

Gotta love it. Give the fly a dose of venom, let the venom do its work while wrapping it up in web to keep it from kicking, then later, dine on the meat slurpee.

those spiders are great moms, and when they don’t have a sack of babies in their mouth they are surprisingly fast as well, i’ve seen them wrap prey in a blink of an eye…BAM a blur then full cocoon wrap.
