Well. While sweeping and cleaning the front room and my roommate was tackling her room, we found like five spiders, one of which was a baby. My roommate and her gf have been finding small red bumps on their skin lately, too. She is now dead convinced that there is a spider infestation and that they are targeting her. Me, on the other hand, I have

A little. Its body was far less intricate and the legs looked thinner.

Huh. Well, there's so much variation that it can be hard to identify a lot of small brown stripy spiders without much more detailed investigation. Regardless, like I said, if it's striped, it's harmless. In the US at least.

Yeah, I figured it was harmless anyway. I just wanted to know for my roommate's sake since finding that last spider that I caught sent her to tears and she had to go outside the dorm while I checked out her room and took care of where we thought the spiders were coming in from. XD; That bit of information has her settled, so it's all good now. Thanks. ♥

Wow. Man, being arachnophobic must really suck. Spiders are so common and 99% completely harmless, too. :D; I feel bad for the many innocent spiders who get killed for having done nothing wrong.

I've never seen someone this scared of them to this degree. I hate them and sometimes get an irrational fear of them, but not to the point where I can't kill/capture them and get them the hell away from me. And I'd feel bad for the spiders, except I strongly dislike them. :c

...Not to the point of closing up the small hole in my window that they can come in from, apparently, since I hate storms, too, and feel their pain at being stuck out in this weather. But if I see them, all bets are off, man.
