    It’s their suddenness that freaks me out. I had been sitting on my couch for two hours the other night when one scuttled out from beneath my feet!

      this is why i respect web spinning spiders and jumping spiders (despite the name).

      web spinners just spin their webs and sit there, they’re in their lane and flourishing.

      jumping spiders are smart enough to recognize that we are gods compared to them, and that we probably won’t appreciate them making sudden fast movements.
