Meet Bob, our pandemic spider

We first noticed the spider sometime in summer of 2020. He was long-legged, but not long-legged enough to be a daddy longlegs. Fuzzy, but not fuzzy enough to be a wolf spider. Startling, but clearly not one of the poisonous varieties that need to be removed from the premises immediately.

He wasn’t doing any harm, hanging out there on the ceiling of the family room. He might even be doing some good — spiders eat bugs, after all. So we let him stay.

Just a spider hanging out.
