Along Came A Spider

I finally freed that spider that had somehow ended up trapped in a measuring cup. I would have let it go earlier but I am afraid of spiders (I had this image of it somehow getting on me in the process so I waited until I had help). Despite my fear, I won’t kill a spider unless it invades my personal space. Spiders provide an important role in eating insects that might otherwise be in your home.

I felt really guilty that I went out of town for three days while this spider sat in this cup. He looked pretty bad by the time we set him free. Hopefully he was able to regroup and find some bugs to eat.Here are some useful links about spiders:
