raefinlayBugs: Colder temperatures forced me to make the annual trip to my water heater (accessible only from the outside) to turn up the temp. Armed with a flashlight and a can of RAID, I crunched courageously through dead grass stalks and left-over almond hulls to the cobwebby door. The knob was frozen stiff--it hadn't been turned in months--but it was no match for my wiry strength. *growls* I peered inside and swept the beam of my flashlight around the base of the tank...and just about came out of my skin! Shiny black abdomens were dripping from the supports. BLACK WIDOWS! And they were everywhere. EW!!!!! I hate spiders with the fire of a thousand supernovas. Now, I can't get their red, Rorschach-y hourglasses or their gleaming exoskeletons out of my head. I've been itching for hours...

My mom has a shed in Texas where she has her kiln. Every winter the shed is FULL of daddy longlegs. And they're all humping the walls, trying to get hidden when she opens the doors. She would find their dead bodies inside some of her molds, even a month after she killed as many as she could find.
They all humped at the same time. Up, down, up, down. Very creepy.

Dude, if you're ever in VA (for whatever reason) we HAVE to meet up! And if I'm ever in Cali, of course. :D (not that that ferret unfriendly place makes me want to go there... visiting would purely be to visit the Rae.)
:D

And you're free to stay at my house! We don't have an extra bed so you'd be stuck on one of our super comfortable couches... :D
Hee!
