Anybody know a lot about spiders?

[Anakso]

I have 5 spider's living on the roof just above my bed.

That would freak me the hell out. I'm not an arachnophobe, the only time spiders scare me is if they're huge and black and have a red spot on their back, and are coming towards me. But above your bed? D:

Dear god, where do you live? Australia?

No one in Australia has actually died from a spider bite since anti-venom was made readily available across all hospitals some ~30 years ago :>

Australians are simply part spider after spending so much time living with them.

It's a different spider. They stay still during the day and move around at night. WHEN YOU AREN'T WATCHING. :O

But yeah, if by daddy long legs you mean those spindly ones with the skinny long legs then they're usually harmless, grab em with a paper towel or whatever.

Yes, thankfully I've never come across one. But if I ever did, I'd be a mile away before you could blink!

Those are apparently fast enough (though there are far worse exaggerations of their speed) that you'd literally have to run. Let alone the fact they're 30 cm long. :S The largest arachnids ever, as far as i know, larger than tarantulas.
