As someone who resides in a rainforest, I see this spider as an ally. He is a fierce hunter that hides away most of the day, and hunts down cockroaches during the night.
At this point I’ve come to cherish the moments that I get to cross paths with these creatures. Our interactions are never negative, and I am grateful to be allied with such a peaceful sentinel.
That said, I believe a person’s home is their castle and if the flames must be thrown, so be it.
