    I’d be fucking horrified, that’s what. I’m not charging my spider bros for rent, especially when they provide free pest control.

      The pest control is their rent. Would you let them cruise around otherwise?

      I got a cool pic of one of my tiny jumping spiders dragging an insect to it’s death behind a wall ornament, but I don’t want to freak anyone out.

      EDIT: Found the pic! Warning: It’s very close and very clear and very freaky.

      They are embarrassed by you providing such ample food supply and try to pay a little extra

    You don’t gotta pay rent, little guy, just stay tf out of my shower, tf out of my bed, tf out of my food, and try not to have more than 50 of your closest friends and relatives over at a time evenly spaced throughout the attic and undercroft.

    Do that and I won’t kill you.

    I’ve seen this a million times but it always makes me tear up a little. I guess little spiderbros are my gay swans.

    I have room spiders in my office, different spider families have taken up 3 corners in there. A few months ago one of the small clear guys went out to the window screen, made a big web and died. My wife made fun of me for being upset but it was a very emotion turn of events.

    No no, I bought all those baked goods from spiders to support them, not have it come back to me as rent.
