Is the name of that North Texas trail “Mirkwood?”

No. I hate spiders. My reaction would probably be a liberal use of flamethrowers, then fall back to a nearby ridge and shell the area with napalm and thermite rounds.

They just catch and eat the nasty-damn mosquitos that are carrying blood from their previous victims to you, and flies which are going to lick you with the same organ they just enjoyed a doggy drop with!
Cut spidey a break, wouldya? He just tryin to hep!

There might be several thousand spider webs in my yard any given morning, but one thing for sure is they are social to the extent of carefully avoiding each other.

I don’t enjoy having a spider crawl on me, but mosquitoes are downright dangerous. Therefore, unless I identify a particular spider as being a member of one of the two venomous North American species (i.e. the Brown recluse or Black Widow), I escort spiders outside instead of killing them when I encounter them in my home.
Spiders are creepy (and, to my eye, unattractive), but they perform a useful function: killing mosquitoes. Mosquitoes kill far more people every year than do spiders. Anything that eats mosquitoes is on my team.

I bet it’s that damn Sauron again. We run him out of Dol Gulder every 1000 years or so, but he keeps coming back with all his nasty pets.

with napalm and thermite rounds.
Some days, I'd say amen to that.
But then nearly losing a leg to a brown recluse bite and subsequent
infection may have colored my perception.
I don't hate all spiders.
Just the ones in my personal sphere.
