That is very true.

I find the tinier they are, the more gold they look, and they’re very common. A recluse wouldn’t usually be out in the open, and they’re shaped differently, too. Hurrah for a live Jimmy! Here’s hoping he is wise enough not to encroach on the Forbidden Lands.

Well I was going to say WITH the wooden sword, but since it’s missing, it wouldn’t really be accurate. 😛

The house spider might be it. It’s hard to tell, the thing’s so tiny, and I don’t have a magnifying glass. I’ll let Jimmy live…for now.

He disapproves of preemptive strikes against spiders. Also, rather hilariously, both he and the sword object(sarcastically)to the implication that it is his parent. 😉

Hmm… chubby little abdomen and spindly little legs? Like this? (arachnophobes, do not click this link) http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3237/2974659626_89f5aa38a7.jpg
If so, it’s probably some sort of Parasteatoda Tepidariorum, common House Spider.

Beeeard…

Apologize to the Child of the Wooden Sword, but I don’t know. It was tiny and gold? I’m trying to search images on Google but it’s freaking me out. I don’t think it was a recluse or I would’ve killed it a long time ago. But I’m no spider-identification expert. See, I had this unspoken deal with the spiders (there’s another one named Jimmy) that if they stayed in the bathroom where I could see them, I would leave them alone. But I found a spider in my bedroom, killed it, and upon returning to the bathroom, found Jerry had vanished. I can only assume…now I’m thinking I should finish the job and kill Jimmy before he, too, decides to invade my personal space.

Also: BEEEEEEARD.
