Greetings @lemouth,
I had fun writing this. It's amazing to me how much we don't know about the creatures who share the planet with us. That little vegetarian spider is really quite cute. It's named after a character in Kipling's Jungle Book.
We don't kill spiders either, unless they look dangerous. We catch them if they are in the house and we put them outside (even in the winter). We don't care too much about the garage, or even the basement. But closets and the house...no😃
Spider week😅 Yes! It was great articles in the community that prompted this one. Insects/spiders fascinate me.
Thank you very much for visiting and for the interesting and lovely comment. It's really quite gratifying.
Take care. Be safe over there. Crazy, crazy times.
Regards,
This sentence has to be emphasised more, I believe:
In many situations, there is simply no need to kill. We can "just" explain them their place is outside/elsewhere (i.e. not in the house). We should respect all creatures and not kill any of them just for the pleasure of it. When there is no need, there is no need (and there is as well no room for a 'but').
Have a nice week-end!
My kids won't even let me kill flies in the house. Did you ever try to catch a fly :)) It takes a while.
We do this in summer time. Flies invade us by dozens. We are trying to attract them outside, but we have most of the time to kill them (there is no way out, as living with so many flies inside the house is not an option we are ready to accept).

Please not the bees! Those should be protected! ;)

I almost missed this post, I'm commenting here because I read your comments and I felt the same as Lemouth when I first read the title. That was surprising!
The other thing is, I open a window and chase away flies to get them out, same thing for everything else. Not many spiders around and usually just the super small kind, but when I can't convinve it to get on a paper to move it outside, I just leave it be and ignore it. 😅
