Good thing to know. Another reason I never kill spiders, they also like
nasty little bugs. As a matter of fact, we have a black widow we've
named Martha, who lives under the porch. I never have bug problems, and
I think Martha is probably well fed - I'm not going to go ask her,
though.

We also had a cricket living under my desk for a while, but one night
Rolo (the cat) [http://tinyurl.com/22bjtm], got it. I miss it.
