    As someone who resides in a rainforest, I see this spider as an ally. He is a fierce hunter that hides away most of the day, and hunts down cockroaches during the night.

    At this point I’ve come to cherish the moments that I get to cross paths with these creatures. Our interactions are never negative, and I am grateful to be allied with such a peaceful sentinel.

    That said, I believe a person’s home is their castle and if the flames must be thrown, so be it.

      Yes, but this looks like a wolf spider. Wolf spiders are yard spiders that run very very fast and therefore are required to stay in the yard. It is the law. There’s nothing I can do about it.

      (Or it’s my childhood trauma. It’s definitely one of those things…)
