~fast reply~ As a rule, spiders freak me out but we are on a strict capture and release program in this house, which includes spiders and wasps and their creepy scary lot. Anyway, we used to have a writing spider (yah, that's the technical term for it) beside our front porch. She was lovely, for a spider. She was very long and spidery, deveral inches long and couple inches wide, very solid, and if you got near her, she would wave her abdomen up and down and make her web bob. She could also tap her abdomen on her web (it would make a definite tapping sound) to express her displeasure. We had her for a couple years in a row and then she disappeared. As it turns out, the cats don't authorize my capture and release rule (unless they are releasing some injured animal or bird under my furniture). Lots of fun all the time.
