Probably A Repeat Post But That's Ok

A LARGE version of the long legged spiders who have been frequenting my place decided to hang out in the corner of my bathroom. 

And again, it's either the same spider repeatedly using this spot and growing (I assume they grow) or it's a good spot for spider reasons I don't understand.  (Mostly quiet?  Dark most of the time?  Decent humidity?  Warm?  I don't know, haven't been able to ask any of them.)

So this BIG guy/gal hung out in that corner and every few days I noticed it wasn't there and wondered if it had moved on but then I'd see it again the next day and would randomly think about how little I know about spider behaviour... really.  (I assumed they all sit in their webs and wait for food to come to them but this "disappearing" spider made me think that some of them go actively searching and then come "home" to chill?)

I went to have a shower the other night and noticed the spider wasn't in its corner web.  Hmmm, I thought, it must be out on the prowl.  And then when I went to push my shower curtain aside I saw it and was like NOPE, sorry!  You've crossed a line and now I need to escort you out.  So I grabbed a glass, trapped it in there and opened the door and threw it into the hall.  (I later "swiffered" the area where the web had seemed to be just in case that discouraged returning... again, I don't know!)

I then went and put the glass in the dishwasher and this is where the "maybe a repeat post" part comes in.  As I was putting the glass in the dishwasher I thought about writing a post about it and about how I don't want to drink from a glass that a spider has been in.  And I imagined typing this out and one of you pointing out that probably most of my glasses and mugs and other utensils have spider (and other) feet that have touched them and you guys it's the KNOWING it has happened that I can't deal with.

So I can vaguely know that nothing in my house is likely "clean" clean but I can not actively drink out of a cup that I just captured a spider in.  I can drink from a glass out of the cupboard that may have had bug legs in/on it but I can't do it ON PURPOSE.  Know what I'm saying?

So yeah, no spider water happening here.  Nope.
