In our house we have managed to acquire a spider that will actually eat the dreaded brown marmorated stink bug. If I manage to catch it and breed it, we’ll be RICH!

I have mixed feelings about spiders. There’s TONS of them here (basically, Daddy Long Legs) and they live in every crook, crevice and corner of your house. They’re good, cause “they eat the bad bugs,” but they do multiply and it tends to get a bit much, like when I walk into the shower and a giant spider drops on my head. Or I have to watch the painful agony of another spider trying to climb upwards to safety away from the torrential waterfall that is my shower (and he usually falls and I have to tippy toe around him as he drowns). You can go around with a vacuum and suck them all up and literally 24 hours later there’s new webs and spiders. Maybe if I could SEE Them consuming large masses of mosquitoes and sandflies I’d feel better about our co-existence.
Or you can just tell yourself that the chickens eat all the bugs, and squish the spiders without worry.
Um, if it will eat a stinkbug, I’m wondering what ELSE it will eat.
