I’m similar, spiders and the centipedes with the creepishly long antennas…. You’re good as long as you stay over there.

Though I have to admit, the spiders that set up shop on the patio are incredibly considerate- they probably don’t want to keep rebuilding their webs when we take them down, but they’ve learned where it’s a “nope” and build them out of the way.

Cross orb weavers are cool.

But…

(which is good, what with that name; they'd be failures if I'd seen them),

For the record brown recluses are typically seriously venomous. Like. They’re on par with black widows. Here, they’re rare enough, but them and the northern black widows are the only two that are potentially deadly.
