I have a bathroom corner filling with various types of dead bugs, some of which seem to be in pieces

No signs of spiders. Any guesses what’s going on?

Editing to say there are some sort of long legged harvester type spiders in there, but they tend to hang out up at the ceiling and the bugs are on the floor. Also, hubby says there is a similar pile amassing nearby in the basement.

Or are you bug friendly?

I do not let bugs gather or spiders hang around on my ceiling.
