You're right again there Steve. I'm trying hard to see any size of spider as a living creature with the right to be around. I must pull up my 'big girl's pants', grab the nice soft 'tickling stick' duster (it has a long handle) to encourage the spider gently to get on board so I can pop it out of an open window. Spiders don't kill humans (only tropical ones,many of which I've seen in West Africa).
I've already posted on Mudcat about the new business that's opened in Nowhere Lane near our village, where one can hold a massive spider, or watch one in an enclosure. Many different insects and arachnids are on show, and one pays a bit extra to enter the 'Holding Room'.
I really don't agree with killing anything living now, especially not because of a stupid phobia.
