Do you have arachnophobia?

Halloween is coming & it’s spider season. There seems to be a ton of them everywhere!

Last week @carole.m.hargrave posted a spider️ & I thought of it last night. There was a pretty big spider (when I was a kid we called them “daddy longlegs”) walking around in my bathtub. I cupped him in my hands & put him in a small container on the windowsill while I drew a bath.

I read somewhere there is nothing worse than picking up an indoor spider & putting it outside. ️ It’s like a death sentence! Anyhow, I left the room & when I came back, OMG, the spider was floating in the water! It crawled out of the cup on the windowsill & went back into the bathtub filling with water . Did it have a death wish?! ☠️

I scooped it up & gently set it on a tissue & again left it on the windowsill. I gently blew on it to see if it was alive. ️ (It’s not like you can give a spider CPR!) It seemed drier. I thought I saw a small twitch but I assumed it was a goner. ⚰️ After my bath I checked on it. Still no movement. Blew on it again. Nothing. ‍♀️

But one thing I noticed—it didn’t look all crunched up like spiders sometimes look when they’re really dead.

The next day I was doing my morning routine & noticed the tissue on the windowsill. The spider was GONE! Yay! I think he made it!

It turns out spiders are around all year but @seaclarridge of the @seattletimes says right now they’re out searching for mates & that’s why we see many more of them.

Do you have a fear of spiders or bugs? ️

Grass Spider. Ground-dwelling. Females construct sheetlike webs on low plant growth and stone fences. The web has a retreat tunnel that serves as a shelter; it’s not sticky: insect prey are rushed, captured, and hauled to the retreat. #entomology #bugs #insects #spiders #spidersofinstagram #grassspider (at Ocmulgee National Monument)
