Ladybugs are invading my house at the moment. It's weird how they show up like they do.
I don't usually kill spiders on sight, only in the kids rooms. They don't bother me much. But a recluse might be a bit much for me. I might put it in a glass, too, to look at it later.

Originally posted by PhlabibitYes, they are ladybugs, not phony beetles. My house is perfect for hibernation. I get lots of sun, roll out windows (so the seal is not great until I lock them down), clapboard and skylights. They get in easily. Apparently, the little buggers like my house because if it suddenly warms they get all confused and there are everywhere.

I don't think I can catch them as my ceiling are rather high and I'm a shortie.
I get lots of spiders, too. The ones in my garage are big and juicy. 😛

Originally posted by rbmorrisThere you go, they are strange bugs. I read they come out during warm spells which sure is true in my house. I have skylights, and some days there are 100 of them crawling all over the glass.

They are pretty, too.
Originally posted by TyrannosauruschexDo they do that? I don't know if I might feel bad controlling nature so coldly in that way 😛. But my son would probably like it 🙂.
Have any of you ever collected them all in a big plastic container and let them duel it out until there is, like highlander, only one.
I guess it would depend on what sort of creatures you found, I tended to collect mostly spiders which like to eat other creatures. It was quite exciting to see them all huddled up in their webs in their own little corners of the arena, and then from time to time one would vanish whilst the others grew a little bit bigger...

This conversation would be going a LOT different if I hadn't already got xim/xer.
Of 9 pictures, here are the best 2 so far. More often I can get good pictures by letting the spider go someplace, but you'll need to forgive me for treating this subject different.
I have not killed a spider in perhaps 30 years or so. Now what do I do?

I'd stomp the little beast. I don't care much for spiders, or snakes for that matter, particularly in the house.
