    You are a very special creature yourself.
    Actually my father who was a Marine sergeant in WWII taught me to respect all life, especially spiders. He taught me at an early age about all the good they do and he would handle them and show that they would never bite; unless they felt threatened. I have been bitten once, but I was unknowingly squeezing it at the time, putting on a winter coat for the first time in months.
    Earlier this year had a black widow build a nest outside the back door near the AC unit. Fortunately that was literally a no traffic area, so I was able to leave it alone and I watched it for almost 2 months. Then one day when I was letting the dogs in, I noticed a chameleon on the wall at the nest; and never saw the spiders again.

      Wow that is interesting. When I was moving out of my townhome about 6 yrs ago A black widow charged at me after I inadvertently was cleaning her web. It was the scariest spider experienced I've ever had. I cannot ever forget that and if it is my safety that I need to protect then I will defend my space. Poisonous anything is important to be careful. I like the idea of relocating creatures if at all possible, if my safety is being jeopardized.

      I am with you on relocating; if I think they will bring harm to me. I would not have let the black widow stay inside.
