So there i was, straightening my sheets the other day and as I flipped the top sheet over to tug the bottom one, I was greeted by this huge monster.
Perhaps he wasnt as mammoth as I had originally thought, but mind you *i was just in the bed*. Literally, like 60 seconds before and it was found right where i lay. He was just shy of a quarter in size. After about an hour search (seriously, what took me so long??) i discovered it is a Parson spider, and although not poisonous, people can have reactions. Hooray.
Its their world too you know. I almost never kills bugs (mosquitos are the only exception). I put him outside so, you know… he can come right back in. But hey, it was raining so i didnt want to go far:P I like to live dangerously.
The other surprise is that I whipped out this glasses case for my MIL. It was a very simple project but i didnt truly follow the directions as you can see from the design. But you can follow them here, from Design Sponge. She always has reading glasses laying around so I thought this would suit her. It is also the first time i got to use the button elevator tool she gave me – very handy indeed!
Yes – with all the rain the critters are coming in to the dry – Surprised that the girls didn’t find it and take care of it. Grandma F’s cat Mittens loves to play with critters like that.
oh hell no. I would have squished that thing asap. so freaking big! ick.
Oh that glasses case is so cute! Very pretty colours.
I don’t know how big your quarters are exactly, but whatever the size I don’t like the look of those fangs. Eek! So nice of you to put him outside! I’m afraid I generally squash spiders, if they’re inside the house. Hey, I don’t go and curl up in their spider web and call it my own! 🙂 Spiders are the size of a CD a lot of the time, so if I let them all in the house they’d take up far too much room!
Of course you know some of this already….White sheets, light colored blankets, bed check before hitting the hay. I also stay away from bed skirts. Just gives those creepy crawlies something to crawl up. I flush all my spiders if I can catch them also. No Mercy!!!!!
I hate spiders egh…..
