I like daddy longlegs and can pick them up easy as winks but I couldn't touch a spider, we had a big one in the bath the other day and I had to wait for my husband to wake up so I could wash my hair. jenny

I'm not sure if they ever bite, just the size of them I hate!!! & all those appendages Lol!!! Never know if I should pick them up by leg or wing, inevitably whichever i choose will drop off!! lol I don't like to kill things, even spiders unless I really have to. Tooth Fairy, try using the hoover nozzle, works every time! :0) Joan
