I Killed a Spider and Now I Feel Bad | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 4542235  United States05/09/2023 12:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Crickets For thousands of years, it has been considered lucky to have a cricket on the hearth, especially in Asian countries where crickets were once used as “watchdogs.” When danger approached, the cricket’s chirping would stop. Native Americans believed crickets brought good luck as well, and avoided mimicking the chirping out of respect for the insect. Bug superstitions suggest that it’s very bad luck to kill a cricket, even on accident. [link to pestdefense.com (secure)]  |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 74771247 United States05/09/2023 08:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We don't kill tarantulas (that would be difficult and smelly as they're so big). We capture them and take them back outside. Phew! You know they can live about 25 years! But yea most of the time I relocate spiders outside unless it’s poisonous then I’ll kill it. My favourite are the jumping spiders, they are so cute! Sometimes I’ll relocate them to somewhere else inside like by the fruit bowl. I bet you would like "Cave Crickets"....they are a gargantuan cricket that moves like a spider, and as a defense mechanism, they will jump right at you. Lived in a basement once, full of cave crickets. There it would be, right on my sheets, and when I sat up to brush it away it would jump toward my face. Good times, good times... I called those duckers cricket spiders when I was a kid. Or as my sister called them crispiders |
