I've grown quite fond of spiders. I don't have the same aversion I used to when I was younger. There are so many hobo spiders on the exterior of my house, but I leave them be unless they're in my way, because they've noticeably reduced the populations of every other nuisance bug. As long as they keep to themselves and don't invade my space, I'll let them chill. And I just relocate them if they wander in. Killing them is just sad.

Wolf spiders are welcome in my basement though. They are smart enough and have good enough eyesight that the likelihood of getting bit by one is super low. They hunt down all the pests in your home.

What makes them extremely cool is that they're kinda like nature's hydraulic robots.
