This is a little fun fact I stole from a friends Facebook page. “Some species of burrowing spiders keep teeny tiny frogs in their burrows to keep it free of bugs too small for the spider to get that might try to eat the spider’s eggs. This means that tiny frogs are spider cats.” Hmmph. I wonder if those spider cats appreciate being used like that. Are they allowed to jump onto the Spiders dinner table, or do they get shooed off? Can you imagine if the frog tried to cuddle up to the spider? That would be weird. I really don’t have too much to say about that…it’s just weird. There is currently a spider running around the ceiling in my house. He isn’t big enough to scream about, but still has enough size for me to worry about him jumping into my mouth while I sleep. Unfortunately the only time I really notice him is when I am all settled under a blanket on the couch, with Sinny, Junebug, and Casper all snuggled on my lap. At that point there is really nothing I can do. I am going to eat that spider while I sleep aren’t I?
