My shower is has no such hiding places, it is approximately 24 inches square which means if I drop the soap, I must open the shower door so I have room to bend over and pick it up, I kid you not! And glad you're not thinking of killing him/her, you know SK and I would have something to say about that!MsThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549409687537066330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061321.post-1129666743176265752005-10-18T16:19:00.000-04:002005-10-18T16:19:00.000-04:00I don't love spiders, but by studying them, I have...I don't love spiders, but by studying them, I have mostly overcome my previously severe arachnophobia. Despite not wanting them in my home, I never kill them. After all, they eat bugs and what more could you want?<BR/><BR/>As for the no-web thing, some spiders don't spin webs, they actually hunt their prey. Your spidey pal could be a jumping spider (ominous name, I know, but they're pretty harmless).. I've had a few of them and because they stalk their prey, they have scarily amazing eyesight.<BR/><BR/>On the bright side, if he's not catching much, he'll probably move on.. and if he is, then at least you can be assured your towel rack is bug-free. Also, if it is a jumping spider, I wouldn't worry about it leaping on you mid-shower because those spiders are very wary of anything that much bigger than themselves.<BR/><BR/><BR/>-- Wildlife Biologist-in-TrainingAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07378728372814820314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061321.post-1129518633950705762005-10-16T23:10:00.000-04:002005-10-16T23:10:00.000-04:00C'mon, spiders are our friends!
