Is there such a thing as a homing spider?

[Insane Wally]

Every morning for nearly 2 weeks, I awake to find a spider in the bath.  It's leg span is about 2 �" & it's in the same spot every morning.

'So you haven't bathed for 2 weeks' you say.  Oh yes I have, & the funny thing is, I release the spider in the garden every morning, sometimes the front garden, sometimes the back.

Now is this a different spider every day, or is the same one finding its way back into the bath?  Short of spraying some sort of paint on it to to check (which would probably kill it), I've no way of knowing.

hiya insane wally, we have a big spider in our living room, every morning when mr pixi gets up the spider is on the ceiling in the same spot, it then makes a circuit around the room, then scurries off behind the tv, I've only seen it once (urrgghh) but mr pixi swears its the same spider and its there same time every day

Catch him in a jar,imprison him for a day,so you know where he is and if there isnt a spider in the bath next morning,then you've found your man..although you might have a massive spider nursery in your ubend or something equally horrific and each day a new one appears...

dress him up in fancy clothing.

Well as you carry him away he's busy spinning a line that he can follow to get back in. Ha, didn't think of that did you? ;-)

My understanding is that spiders in the bath have got there from the bathroom, not by climbing up the drain. They get in (looking for water?) then can't climb the slippery slopes out. I drape a towel over the edge of the bath before I go to work, by the time I get home he's gone.

By the way, talking of homing, if you ever catch a mouse in the house, take it at least 3 miles away before releasing it - they can home back long distances.

There are spiders that are capable of (Homing) the name of this species is Aphonapelma bicoloratum, they grow to about 4in somewhat small and a black dusty type body, generally not to aggressive but are capable of giving a nasty bite which if unattended can lead to deafness and blindness, There is also Aphonapelma Chalocodes  are much more aggressive and when cornered in say a bath room will will spite an acid like substance which is likened to a for of viagra which makes the spider somewhat slow and thas when you can strike

[noseyno]

Yeah, I've got a spider in my living room, been here for weeks. I'm getting quite fond of him. He runs round the whole ceiling at night a couple of times then goes back to his corner, I'm kinda proud of how fast he is lol.

We have a regular bath spider too.  We call him Jimmy and carefully rescue him before running the water.  But he always returns sowe wouldn't dream of harming him.   But spider lovers, beware!    Make sure they don't build a cobweb around the passive ray sensor of your burglar alarm.   It's the one place I always forget to dust and  more than once a large spider crawling over the front of it has triggered our alarm.  Some sensors apparently can be highly sensitive, even to such small creatures as these.

You are all crazy.
