Ewww... Ohh?

So you probably know that I have a mild amount of tolerance for spiders in my place.

And you've probably heard my stories about spiders who cross over my personal boundaries and are then escorted elsewhere (but kept alive.)

Other than occasionally getting annoyed at webby type messes I have to clean up in places I don't see that often (behind things, around the back of things... wait, that ended up being the same thing which isn't what I meant) as long as you're not in my face or in my "nope" spaces, you're fine and I'm not annoyed (if a little wary.)

Well last week something happened or I *think* it happened anyway.  This apartment building has silverfish (most if not all do around here) and I do not like them. They are not something I co-habit willingly with but I know they're around and I know there could be more (thanks spiders in part I think?) 

I was wandering towards my bathroom when I noticed something on my (pale cream) wall.  I looked at it before immediately wiping it away as I was curious if it was a silverfish that needed squished but when I got close (but not TOO close) it looked like it was a silverfish but *off* of the wall as if it had been caught in some webbing (that I was unable to see) and so I left it there, quite proud of whichever spider pal laid the trap that caught the icky thing.

The next day I looked in the same spot to see if the thing was still there and it wasn't, but there WAS something else close to it... hmmm.... I bend down to take a look and what I THINK I saw was a now mummified silverfish waiting to be eaten by whichever spider wrapped it.  GAH.

I was admittedly uncomfortable with this but also wanted to encourage, you know... life and nature, and also yes please do keep on eating silverfish but also I... uh, didn't like seeing this... thing (and thinking about the death and gah and eating and ahhh!)

I left it for as long as I could (most of the day) and then eventually was like "you know what, I don't want to keep staring at this dead body so I think I'm going to remove it, sorry spider bro/ette" and so I got a piece of paper and as I approached the thing I wondered if maybe it was just a speck of dust and not a mummified bug but I was kind of weirded and grossed out anyway so without really looking I took it off the wall and put the paper and item into the trash.

So now I'm not sure if I saw a mummified silverfish at all but I'm pretty sure there was one caught the day before so I don't not know.

But yeah... I hope that the spiders that are hanging around are nomming on the dudes that I don't like and don't want in my place.

But also I don't want to think about it too too much so yeah.  There you go.
