Spiders are quite literally all around us. A recent entomological survey of North Carolina homes turned up spiders in 100 percent of them, including 68 percent of bathrooms and more than three-quarters of bedrooms. There's a good chance at least one spider is staring at you right now, sizing you up from a darkened corner of the room, eight eyes glistening in the shadows.

Good news for arachnophobes!
To: Candor7
Most arachnids are friendly to humans. Only a few are not.

Yeah but...
The interview process to find which ones have the bad attitude can be so horribly tedious.
Besides, everyone knows spiders are really good at lying. It’s that whole eye contact thing... they have so many of them.

Humans could theoretically stomp every spider on the earth in five minutes. Stomping them at the same time would knock the Earth out of orbit.
To: SoFloFreeper
That means humanity has a 29x total weight advantage.

Dont seem to have poison spiders here on Long Island. Supposed to be black widows here never saw one. I squish the house spiders to keep the wife happy. Cat gets the rest. Leave the outdoors ones be. Life is good.

You should never kill a spider. You should always love and guide her. And invite her in the nursery to play.

Spider sniffing
After dark, hold a flash light on your forehead, shining outward.
As you scan the landscape, you will see bright green or maybe yellow or perhaps blue jewels. Those jewels are spider eyes.
