My desk area at home has been infested with very tiny baby spiders that swing down on threads. I've never had a problem with them before. They seem to like the desk lampshade. They are about the size of a pin head, and gold-yellow. I just saw one that's larger than the others, and it looks like a daddy-long legs. Oh, the JOY...yet, I don't have the heart to kill them. I kind of like spiders (not big ones, though!).

This has been going on for about two weeks now.

DH won't kill spiders because he tells me they eat other bugs. Neely liked to chase and eat them. ;) I'm not sure Carleton knows what to make of them, lol.

Daddy long-legs aren't spiders, and don't weave webs ;). Probably house spiders. They sort of look like daddy long-legs.

I like spiders. I have a lot of them in my house. My arachnophobic friend is not so pleased, lol.
