SPIDERS
In my bed at night
I can’t switch off the light
When I know there’s a spider in the room
And when it’s out of sight
I’m ready to take flight
If I know there’s a spider in my home

Wow! That’s a monster.
I am not afraid of spiders but your poem nailed it . . . I wouldn’t want to share my bedroom with that guy. 😀

I’m okay with them as long as they keep their distance. 😉

I think so too, Barb. Did you see the ‘littles’ a bit higher up? *shudders*

Yeurgh!!! I once woke up to find a spider advancing towards me over the duvet, Adeeyoyo! A great but extremely cautionary post today:-D

Once I’ve seen one and go to bed, I imagine I can feel it crawling on my hair or, even worse, on my neck. 😯

I got bit by one 25 years ago while sleeping. The bite and infection was the size of a big lemon on my hip. I still have the scar. I don’t look anything like Little Mrs. Muffet. Most spiders are harmless but I’ll stick with butterflies any day.

Spider bites can be very painful and affect a large area as well as make you feel ill, I’ve heard. I don’t know much about them, ie whether any species are aggressive towards humans or animals or do they only bite to protect themselves.

We are strange aren’t we, BV, to be scared of such small things compared to our own size. 😆

At least when you can see something you are scared of, you can deal with it (but if it is hidden – argh). My brother once got bitten by a Red-back spider and when he went to Emergency they sent him home because they didn’t believe him – he had a couple of days agony!

I love spiders – did you know that they catch the mozzies and the other flying thingsies in your room while you are sleeping. Useful little things!

Oh yes, I do know that. I had one on the porch and I saw its larder! Yugh. He had to go! As long as they don’t come into my territory, or mess, I’m fine with them. Where have you been Lyndatjie?

That’s a big ‘un. I am chief spider catcher in my house because I live with two die-hard arachnophobes. My husband has been known to climb on tables when a spider is nigh. It is hilarious. Fortunately, I am not scared of spiders and I don’t like to kill them so I don’t mind catching them and letting them go in the garden. But flying cockroaches are another story….Eeeeek.
