There is a medium-small spider hanging out on my corkboard and I’ve decided to adopt it as a pet. I will lure mosquitoes to it and call it cute names.

@kimberlyhirsh Spiders are our friends.

@cn So I don't want to name it Charlotte because my human bff going back to middle school is named Charlotte, but I did think about giving it her middle name.

@philipbrewer I love the way they eat insects.

@kimberlyhirsh Last year at the beginning of september, we ‘adopted’ a cute medium- small size spider in our garden, just at the opposite site of the window. During the autumn and winter season the whole family enjoyed her catching insects and growing bigger and bigger, rebuilding a new web at the exact same spot everyday. By the time spring broke though, my daughters somehow lost interest. She apparently wasn’t that cute anymore 🙂

@ArnoldHoogerwerf My spiderfriend had disappeared so maybe she's not interested in being my pet.

@kimberlyhirsh Or perhaps… she was thinking about adopting you as her pet and changed her mind… 😀

@Miraz Can't say I blame her. I'm pretty high maintenance.

@kimberlyhirsh LOL.

@kimberlyhirsh We had a spider in the corner of our bathroom doorway for a while, I nicknamed it Vlad the Impaler.

@kimberlyhirsh 😁 As an Australian, obviously we have a whole thing about spiders, but even so I'd much rather share my home with them than with mozzies and bushflies. Mostly the really big huntsman spiders! Every year they freak my partner out, but I'm like, they don't make webs and eat flies and smaller spiders: perfect houseguests.
