Death of a Spider
This may sound slightly insane, but... I generally like to have a predatorial insect or spider living in my house with me. Mainly as a kind of mini-pet, but also as a kind of anti-pest patrol. My favorite would have to be a House Centipede. But while those are recluse, they also seem to be quite rare. Especially in upper level apartments. So my current pest control was a spider who lives on the ceiling in my bathroom. He would happily hang there and watch me do my buisness, while he patiently waited for prey for a good 2 months. Sadly he died recently, I suppose from lack of food. Now the apartment has no pest patrol! Sigh.. lol
