There is a spider lost in the mess on my desk.

[GreenPartyVoter]

He keeps jumping out at me and I am afraid to move anything lest I either crush him or he crawls across me.

1. Here's what I would do:

burn the desk, contents and all. That way

1) you won't crush the spider
2) he'll never crawl across you
3) you'll start a fire.

Everybody wins.

3. Well, it is a bit cold in here

5. Whatever you do, don't kill the spider

It's bad luck!

Go ahead and torch the desk though. He'll jump off and go somewhere safe, and you'll be all toasty. :D

6. Got a taser? n/t

7. Give him a map!

Would you like to be lost on that desk?

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. Meh. the desk is no different than the rest of my so scary messy house

8. Update on the arachnid

Felt a tickle on my ankle.. he ran down my sock... i scooped him onto a binder of pokemon and yu*gi*oh cards.. then flipped him out on the deck.

Unles, of course, that was entirely different spider. Looked a bit smaller than I recalled the one up here onthe top of the desk. But maybe he was just scared and scrunching his legs together?

11. So apparently you aren't afraid of spiders

If you so calmy reported him "walking down your leg".

12. I am actually rather afraid of them, but this guy was a small wolfie.. I

can deal with them slightly better than the big bulbous-butt web-spinners.. as long as they are nickel sized or smaller.

after that they all make me scream.

13. Funny! I wonder how common

it is among us arachniphobes to be able to cope up to a certain size.
I'm cool (or at least reasonably calm) up to the size of a nickel. Larger than that, I tend to lose it.

14. We have some that live in our window.. little jumpy stripey ones that are

darling.. I almost don't count them as spiders at all~ *l*

9. That's okay.

There's a DESK lost in the mess on my desk.

What you need to do is treat your desk like a big game of pick-up sticks. Move one thing at a time, top item first, until you come to the spider.

16. This frightening gal was living in my neighbors back yard

until the renovators cleared the jungle away.

The Spider


The Jungle


The entire backyard looked like this.

Now it looks like this:

Except the house is a little further along...

But I'm getting off topic here.
