    Light clicking, sort of ti, ti, ti, ti, ti. A friend of mine’s kid makes that sound in my ear and it’s very funny to him. It takes a lot of strength not to hurt him while I get him away form my ear.

    We’re in Seattle, I think they’re jumping spiders? I don’t know for sure, but they’re terrifying. We got a table from a warehouse and I think he came with the table.

      That’s wild. Freaky! Sorry your friend’s kid bullies you, but I can understand what kinda sound you’re describing now. 😬

      Not a spider expert, I wonder if it was this guy (tw: spider picture but also useful article?) Article Link

      Dunno about jumping spiders that big. Jumping spiders tend to be small, cute, smart lil’ guys that are mainly just super curious. :)

      I’m also freaked out by spiders though, mainly because I grew up in the desert where there were tons of black widows. But I’ve started to slowly get over it by watching a channel I found called “MyWildBackyard” on YouTube.

      Guy talks about spiders and stuff, lets them crawl around, explains how non-threatening they are. Kinda Steve Irwin esque.

      I’m not about to go pettin them…but curiosity has replaced fear at least :)

        After the giant one, the smaller ones aren’t as bad to me. Still not worth it, lol. I was bit by a recluse, so that also makes me weary.

        I quickly read the article, It was rounder than that, it looked more like a video game spider. I’ve seen the wolf spiders too and they weren’t nearly as big, aggressive or scary looking. It was lighter in color as well.
