Aww, poor spiders :( Remember, I am a spider lover. Did you know it was bad luck to kill a spider in your own home?

Actually Cats and Spiders are kinda simular as they both eat insects. Here's an interesting fact for you... The female tarantula will kill the male tarantula after mating. This is so the babys have something to live off of when they emerge from the egg sack. The babys will feed off of their "father" untill there is none left.

I didn't know it was bad luck to kill Spiders at home, I killed a few in the garage though, I am not a fan as they eat one another... not sure why they do it but whatever the reason it won't be good enough for me. For some reason I do save them when they get stuck in the bath but only if they aren't too big, lol. I was told they get into your mouth while you sleep and we end up eating them! yuk. I am not a fan, sorry. I do love cats if that helps :)

Well, with all the flies and bugs (and mosquitoes!) that spiders kill, I can imagine we'd be absolutely overrun with the little disease-spreading vermin if it weren't for all the spiders around. And as humans don't realy contribute to the ecosystem, and in fact mostly.. wreck it.. I'd think spiders would be fine without us.

You got it right! Spiders can live without us, no problems there. However, we can not live without them.

Its serious. Studies have shown that spiders can in fact live without humans but humans can not live without spiders. Spiders are very important to our ecosystem.
