Well at least now you've seen one so you can compare it to the nest.

Also: the best time to find a poisonous spider? Obviously when you're naked!

The brown recluse looked nothing like the mother in the nest, so I think its a daddy long legs of some kind. Which are herbivores by the way

Yeah long-legs are harmless. You still don't want them building a hive inside your home, though. I'd just double check via Internet resources that they are just long-legs and non-poisonous, and if they aren't, put some rubber cleaning gloves on, get them and what're dug into in a big trash bag, and haul those suckers on outside to a better home.

Found a small green spider crawling on my leg today. Going to put it in my garden. What varieties are small and green?

ONES THAT KILL YOU!!!!!! 💀💀💀

small and brown may be common house spiders, I know which ones are small and green but can't remember the name, they aren't really dangerous though

I heard they had enough venom to kill a human but their fangs arent sharp enough to pierce human skin even if they tried... Didnt know they were herbivores.... Cool

I live in Australia, and let me just say, some spiders are much better off dead. Some spiders here will kill a small child, where as others don't warrant a second look.

I actually wanted to have a pet tarantula when I was growing up, but I think my parents would have killed it.

Proper identification really helps when determining a spiders fate, and it sounds like if you are on the brink of infestation you have a bit of a choice. Do it the easy way now, or pay a professional to come and spray your house every year for 2 years until they are gone.

As mentioned survival of the fittest does apply here. Relocation may be an option but in a far better habitat than just outside your house would be more appropriate.

Spiders are fascinating creatures, but a healthy respect is always necessary when dealing with poisonous varieties.

Lastly I too understand if it was the last spider of that variety on Earth, it should be protected and saved etc, but I highly doubt this is the case. If its caused this much concern, then kill it and move on. There will be more to take its place soon enough.

Amen brother

Because everyone here has been misusing the name daddy long legs, an actual daddy long legs isn't a spider what everyone here is talking about is actually called a cellar spider, not a daddy long legs
