Spiders are our friends, not the vile, eight-legged monsters they have been demonized to be. Share your favorite photos of spiders and arachnids here (yes, daddy-long-legs or order Opiliones are welcome, too).

Sounds like a common house spider to me, we often have a couple show up in places across our house most years and they stuck around for a few months. My partner usually ends up naming them
Ahh. I lived in appt once and named 3 daddy long-legs. Napoleon, The Dude, and Charlotte. Lots of personality in those spideys. Good times.
We named a large house spider that often ended up in the bath ‘Pete’. Our young children were much less afraid of it after that.
I know fear of spiders is a useful survival instinct, but again where we live they’re just happy cohabitants.
Aww, that’s so adorable.
