Do they ever crawl on you? I've found that if I ever spot a spider in my house, in the next week I'll find it somewhere on me
Literally never, no. Occasionally they hang from their silk and get close, but not super often.
But my spiders know me. They see me every day and know I’m not gunna bother them even if I see them (I even talk to them sometimes) so they give me a wide berth as well. They mostly hang out where I can’t (or won’t) reach, which works for me. Only downside is cleaning up webs a few times a year.
What kind of spiders are crawling on you? That’s pretty unusual from what I understand, unless they just blow down on their silk or whatever? Or maybe you have a lot more spiders than I do and they just hide better ;)
Had a spider bro in my bathroom for a month, one day he disappeared. The very next night I woke up to him crawling on my face. It was unfortunate for us both.
I think the spiders here hide well, so the ones I spot are the risky ones that don't mind scuttling over me.
Huh. Ngl, that’s super weird, but I’m sorry that’s your experience, because this harmony thing I’ve got going on is pretty sweet, and I wish it for everyone. Tho the random bumblebee that finds her way to my living room 2-3x/yr perplexes me..
I like to imagine that it's the same bumblebee every time...
Huh, I had a talk with our house spiders. I told them the bathroom and bedrooms were off limits.
So far, none have survived our bathroom encounters.
Not crawling on me but I found one of these mother fuckers in my pants by putting on the pants. Was not excited to find out why my leg hair was moving
