because of my "problem" we always have insect poison around the place so i can kill them from a distance. so, she sprayed a big puddle of that on the floor and then moved the glass over it. this thing WOULD NOT DIE. it went mental in its glass for about 5 minutes and then finally gave up the ghost and shrivelled up to die. even then, it was huge. i was so scared of it i checked the whole flat twice before going to bed last night.
i comma hate spiders.
Seeing as your girlfriend was brave enough to put a glass over it couldn't she have put a card underneath and put the spider outside
instead of subjecting it to a painful death?
Poor spider

i would have been very annoyed if she had done that as then it may come back.
i'm afraid i don't have any moral issue with killing spiders. the more of them that are dead, the less of them can be found in my flat.
there's is nothing wrong with spiders,they catch flies,the only time i worry about a spider is if it is very big and has hairy legs and iv'e only ever come across one of those
I asked this question of a beardie entomologist at the Insectarium in Victoria. He got very agitated and ranted at length about ecosystems and food webs and people not seeing the bigger picture. I guess they are part of a larger cycle of detritivores and nutrient recycling and all that.
Never really understood the fear of UK house spiders- what exactly are they going to do to you other than scuttling quite fast? _________________ Known as the catch of the camp.

White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, commonly abbreviated to the acronym WASP, is a sociological and cultural ethnonym that originated in the United States and Canada .
The term originated in reference to Caucasian North Americans of Northern European descent, who were Protestant in religious affiliation.[1] It initially applied to people with histories in the upper class Northeastern establishment, who were alleged to form a powerful elite. Working class whites in the U.S. are generally not referred to as "WASPs", even if they are Protestants of Anglo-Saxon descent.[2]
Strictly speaking, many people now referred to as "WASPs" are not Anglo-Saxon – that is, the descendants of the Germanic peoples who settled in Britain between the 5th century and the Norman Conquest.[3] However, in modern North American usage, WASP may include Protestants, from English, Dutch, German, Huguenot (French Protestant), Scandinavian, Scottish, Scots Irish, Irish and Welsh backgrounds, as well as persons of Irish Catholic ancestry who assimilated into Protestant religious traditions.[4] Therefore, the term WASP is sometimes applied to individuals who are technically non-Anglo-Saxons, including people with:

We certainly have heaps of spiders in my small garden, so that's the weekend entertainment sorted!
PS I used to have a b/f who called me a WASP which drove me crazy.
