In reply to the discussion: This is the most frightening spider statistic ever: spiders walk across our faces as we sleep! [View all]hunter
(38,339 posts)39. I see them here in California, occasionally in our house.
Them, and tarantulas do not get to live in our house, I put them outside and usually don't see them again.
