This is my spider friend:

I think I told you about him. I’m trying to learn that spiders are good because they balance out insect ecosystems in homes. So he lives. Every morning for the past week he has come out of hiding while I get ready for work. He crawls along the same path on the wall over my desk. Hangs out by the keyboard for a bit and then some days makes it to the curtains. My questions:

What does he think of me and does he see me mostly or hear me?

What should his name be?

Why do I assume it is a male spider?

Will he grow?

Where does he go when I cannot see him?

While I am here – how is everyone in Vancouver doing with the trash deal? Is it…a bad situation?
