And you get torrential invasions of mosquitoes that invariably
find their way into my house. My defense
is the vacuum cleaner and it is not uncommon to suck up 30+ mosquitoes in four
rooms. To assist me I’ve allowed my
abode to be occupied by spiders that make their home in the corners of the ceilings. I often see the husk of over a dozen
mosquitoes in a web.
Although thrilling and death-defying, the prospect of living
with Black Widows and a potential bite would be a drag on my day so I sought to
identify who my friends were. Fortunately
my spider allies are the common, non-toxic Comb-Clawed Spiders (Achearanea spp.). They belong in the same family as Black and
Brown Widows and the American House Spider. – Family Theridiidae
My friends will be
transported outside because the walls are to painted. I’m sure over the
period of a month I will acquire new allies.
