It's spider season!

It's that magical time of year again. The time when when every tree, lamp post and exterior house surface plays host to the intricate work of the humble orb-weaver spiders made with their finest threads.
I say, I simply feel compelled to build a big web and literally sit in it all day!
(Thanks Bel)
I see them everywhere right now, in many cases with 3 or 4 spiders building webs in the same place or 6+ around shoreline debris (they seem to really love the sea). Granted it can be a little unnerving to be out running and run face-first through a web and then 2 more before you can realize what's happening but I consider that a small price to pay for the vigilant watch provided by our flying pest eating arachnid friends.
There is even one dimwitted orb-weaver that built a web right over my front door which it sits in facing out, and it scurries to the edge every time I go through that door like it's some new thing.
And if it isn't spider season where you are or you don't have one, that's a damn shame:
This thread is now about how much spiders enrich your life personally, and why jumping spiders are hydrauliclly powered.
Or Ant Lions I guess.
Post your fav spider/clever wordplay involving how much you hate spiders!
(if this OP lacks content I am willing to do some revision)

SPIDER HUG!
If a spider kills much nastier spiders, are spider haters allowed to hate it?
I tell him to slowly turn and he sees it and falls backwards right out of the chair.
Good times
If anyone wants to tell me what this means that'd be super!
It means you will be drained of your blood shortly.
Whatever you do, don't
I fear retaliation.
We had this exact quote on this page last spider thread!
I woke up with both arms hurting, standing beside the bed, and she told me I had spent 5 minutes pounding the bed as hard as I could like some sort of madman.
So if you ever need someone beaten, put them next to me and tell me they have a spider on them while I'm sleeping.
Ants rule, spiders drool, mensch is a fool
Look! He killed a bird and now wants to give you a present.
It was probably me. Ants are God.
Do you have any sort of social anxiety issues? Spiders in dreams can represent people you don't know very well, and the dream could mean you're a bit too cautious around other people, possibly for fear of offending them.
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.
Ants are great, I love ants.
thants
I can tell you that spiders are the least of your fucking concerns
