The Itsy Bitsy Spider...

Northwest Arkansas has way too many spiders for me!! They are everywhere! Thank goodness I don't have any stories like last time, but we have finally reached 30 spiders in our apartment. Number 29 being a Brown Recluse on our bedroom door!We consider it a blessing that we saw this one before it got anywhere. Their bites can be pretty vicious, just google some. Warning they are gross. Whenever I walk under the apartment upper floor covering or around the apt. clubhouse I always look for spiders because there are a bunch of webs and old things. Typically a lot of spiders as well. So one day while checking the mail Brad and I saw a spider with huge legs!!Crazy, huh? I've never seen one like that before. After checking our mail we turn around and continue scanning the other sides of the covering only to find 2 more spiders fighting each other.
It was very entertaining to watch. They would raise their front legs and try to hit each other, or stab? This is the most common spider I've seen around our apartment as well. Disgusting!
Besides all the spiders we are enjoying Arkansas, and keep finding new adventures to occupy our free time. :)
