Our newest roommies

So, I totally hate spiders. Totally. In recent years we've been getting the most atrocious spiders in our apartment. They've driven me crazy because I had never seen them in my whole life and then all of a sudden we were getting lots of them. My arms and legs get all goose bumpy just thinking about them. After much Googling I discovered they're called Zoropsis spiders. They're harmless but horrid. Our summer has been blissfully spider free until this week. And then Whamo! 3 in just a few days. So, yeah. I made Rich tape a quarter next to the most recent visitor so that you could tell how big it was. We'd consider this one medium-sized. If you look carefully you can see the reflection of some of the eight, yes eight, eyes along its back.

That is awesome! I will have a posting on my blog soon about the creepy spider I encountered at my place. I think it is the same kind of spider you speak of. Scary!
