The two that live in my both of my campers wing mirrors have done alot of travelling this year. I'm not a great fan of spiders but try and leave them alone or relocate the bigger ones if in the house. The best spider catchers and killers are daddy longlegs, despite looking comical when moving they can easily dispatch house spiders bigger than themselves. You're thinking of the harvestman. Sometimes gets called daddy long legs along with a plethora of other arachnids and insects which get rolled into the same name. They eat literally anything. I was referring to Pholcus phalangioides, they enter others spiders webs pretending to be prey when the other spider comes out they use their long legs to wrap it up, its pretty crazy to watch them do it especially when its a big spider.

Did not know they ate other spiders!! Every day a school day! That's likely what happened to my false widows! Explains why they vibrate when you nudge them. I thought it was just harvestmen that ate, well, everything.

its a brave spider that comes into our house...swmbo totally freaks out but is at least brave enough these days to "deal" with them herself. would be a braver man than I that tells her that they are lovely and should be left alone...put it this way , you would need a pair the size of basketballs!!!!!

I really really don't like spiders, woke up with a decent size house spider on my face as a kid, however I don't want the daughter growing up the same so man up these days and get them outside rather than splat them.

I only know because i saw one wander into a house spiders web/nest at work and saw the battle and then did some google searching.
