That's not a spider.
This is a spider!

These people don't own shoes? Those are excellent spider killers.

The days are short and the nights are long in Newfoundland. Tends to bring about cabin fever.
I wish I had an Insectarium in my neighborhood.

"a spider with red markings behind the heater..."
If a spider is carrying its own heater with it, I'm outta there too!

Mrs. Layzee is deathly afraid of spiders. One afternoon, as she was sitting on the couch, she screamed for me to come in the room because of a fairly large spider, which I promptly beat to death. Later, she told her mother on the phone about it and her mother said, "Gee, I hope there's not a nest in your couch."
Thanks a lot, Mom. She didn't sit on that couch for a year.

I startled a youth camp director once by picking a black widow out of a web with a stick. Then, when the spider crawled up the stick, I just let it crawl over my hand and drop to the ground.
I wasn't in any real danger. Those spiders are so blind that she couldn't tell she wasn't walking over a warm, soft rock.
And I do know how to identify black widows.
I've found them in the house before. My wife gets mad when I pick them up and take them outside.
Not recommended for arachnophobes.
