After all, we wouldn't want domesticated spiders.

In this case, I naturally deselected a specimen that was less successful in choosing a habitat that would contribute to it passing on its genetic material.

The closest thing I can find is......the domestic spider or common house spider, Theridion tepidariorum. I found it on What's that bug. Here's the link:<BR/>http://www.whatsthatbug.com/spiders4.html<BR/><BR/>If this is the spider, it belongs to a group of spiders called comb footed spiders.<BR/><BR/>To add to the confusuion there is a more recent scientific name and you might check out this link which seems more up to date than what's that bug:<BR/><BR/>http://zipcodezoo.com/Animals/A/Achaearanea_tepidariorum.aspPaul D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00535027161567978343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-15447554597649230802007-05-31T22:53:00.000-05:002007-05-31T22:53:00.000-05:00My old boss (God rest her soul) was terrified of m...My old boss (God rest her soul) was terrified of mice. And me, well, it's snakes. We had a deal in the office that I dealt with the mice & she dealt with the mechanics who brought the snakes in. I once cornered a mouse & caught him in a coffee can. Too bad that was after he ran over Sue's foot. At least she never cried.Spyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10469832764480816567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-63331939474088194052007-05-31T19:26:00.000-05:002007-05-31T19:26:00.000-05:00I like spyders, but I really, REALLY hate spiders!...I like spyders, but I really, REALLY hate spiders!!! And wasps! And bees!<BR/><BR/>My ex and I had a deal. She was in charge of killing the creepy crawleys that bite and sting. If Russian paratroopers ever landed in the front yard, they were my responsibility.<BR/><BR/>I know, I know. That's pretty laughable from someone with my views about gun ownership. You are right to be rolling on the floor in convulsive laughter at my blatant hypocrisy. Yuck it up.<BR/><BR/>But I figured if I could get the jump on them with my broadsword and flail, I just might be able to take them. I'd rather give that a shot than go anywhere near a spider.Xavier Onassishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345787343828318445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-59111608694881378562007-05-31T12:04:00.000-05:002007-05-31T12:04:00.000-05:00The second photo is really cool, it looks like a m...The second photo is really cool, it looks like a marble.
