Random Terrain's Tetraternarium

Thanks Random Terrain!

 

Lots of ants this year ...mostly outside...

 

I've found a few intrepid black ants who managed get inside my house or maybe they hitched a ride or something...I don't mind them if they're outside...

 

In my basement, I would love to get rid of the HOBO SPIDERS!  This may sound weird but I don't want to kill them, I just want them gone.   I've (usually) caught and released about 7 to 10 this year alone.  They're not quite as poisonous as a brown recluse, but they're also not as timid.  They show aggressive behavior as spiders go from what I've read.  Once in my studio (as I call it),  I was doing some recording and I see this dark shape just moving across the carpet toward me, and this Hobo Spider is just cruising toward me like he owned the place, and he was very mad I was intruding in his realm!  I kid you not he was looking right at me...Right until the point I quickly pulled a Kleenex from my pocket and dealt with him.  It's very rare, but people have died from the bites (Well, infections because of the bites)...

 

Anyway thanks for the info...

Thanks. I'm just trying to add some new photos to the top of some of my blog entries. It sucks that it puts them on the main page as if they are new.

I knew it was an older entry...just thought I'd bump it back up into the world
