My dad never let us kill them (they were always outside already). I don't think they usually bite, but all spiders can. (or most, right?)

I laughed out loud when I read that "some Golden Orb spiders display an almost manic fear of cockroaches" on this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_silk_orb-weaver<BR/><BR/>That said, I do not like spiders and I would first exterminate Stretch and then the spider!!!Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07493665532285353985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21691361.post-8641638997116207182008-08-22T15:51:00.000-04:002008-08-22T15:51:00.000-04:00Homer is a Golden Orb Spider:http://www.digitalapo...Homer is a Golden Orb Spider:<BR/><BR/>http://www.digitalapoptosis.com/archives/CRC/GoldenOrb.jpg<BR/><BR/>Now you can do some more research on him!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11956372504248127591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21691361.post-13976480439332928182008-08-22T13:50:00.000-04:002008-08-22T13:50:00.000-04:00I’m scared.
