Last year we had a spider living with us in a wood knot hole in a table side..
Simon of 10 named her Mabel... When I find spiders in my NYC hovel, I move them to various corners ... have not had a cockroach in years - though surrounded by others with frightening #s..

Moving on to bedbugs .. everyone on my floor has had them except me. When the expert with the Beagle came, there was no action. He said with all the dust and cobwebs around the floor molding, they would never come in and so it has been so...

I love spiders. I had some at home a few years ago, but a cockroach came in (poisoned, first I ever saw) and the spiders ate it and all died. I threw it out the window when I saw in their web, but too late

I’ve got a golden orb spider that makes a web daily at night and high enough to be able to walk under and catch insects.

There was cheesy "Afternoon Movie" (NYC WABC 1970s) in which the protagonist is stuck in a small boat/skip on the ocean with no oars???? but he has a guitar and is singing ".. I'd rather be a cockroach than a flea ...If I could ..." (El Condor Pass tune)Anybody know the film? I think Krys O would know but she is not in here.

Handy Haversack:

My best insect story is all about the ladybugs. Before I moved back to NYC from grad school in MI, I wanted K8 and some friends there to come see my mom's family's old farm in the far west of the state. It's April, so my aunt and I go up to reconnect the pipes and light a fire in the stove to warm the place up. And we woke up a ladybug colony hidden the walls for hours and hours, thousand upon thousand of ladybugs came pouring out of all the cracks in the walls of this tarpaper shack, basically. I think a million ladybugs might have been there, sleeping away until the fire woke them up and the poured out.

It was the cutest biblical curse you ever saw.

Morning, Will!
