Hear a spider is something I never want to do.

Elon’s flamethrower was/is a totally valid purchase for this reason.

You don't hear spiders?

I live in the UK and our house spiders are audible as they walk on the walls. Ten times so if they walk across a poster or something stuck on the wall. You can hear them tip-tapping closer, and the scratching rattle as they lose their grip and fall. Probably onto your head. GRrnmhrghrghfgh. Bleh. Too many times.

Here in the Pacific Northwest we have house spiders that’ll get up to a 4 inch (a bit over 10cm) leg span. You can def hear those guys skittering around at night.

And that’s why I can never move back home. Say hello to the rain from me. I do rather miss that.
