Encountered a tiny spider today atop the trash can. He was much smaller than his photo.

43. I love spiders and keep them around the house - we have 3 jumpers currently

We live in OK and while everyone else complains they have fiddle back and widows - we have none. Our jumpers eat them.
Spiders dehydrate easily, some may look dead for days or assume the "death curl". They get dehydrated and then can't hunt. Offering a qtip dipped in water can save them. We had this incident this week in our home. Husband found one on the laundry basket, who was too weak to run away. We put her in the kitchen window, gave her a wet qtip, sprinkled a little sugar around it to draw flies. She latched right on to that q tip. An hour later she was moving. 4 hours later she was gone but there was a dead fly on the qtip. I think I got my first spiddy tip LOL
