i wish i could communicate with spiders electronically through an application adjacent to direct messaging or group chats on social media. visually and physically they freak me out but if i could have casual conversations with them without having to look at them i would indeed be interested in being friends if the platonic chemistry were right. i would also happily tell them about where i see flies that bother me and places where their webs would be safe from my unintended interference.
I assume the best you can do is behavior capture and selective breeding. Feed the most inoffensive ones. Kill the ones that violate the treaty. In a few years, you could have a household of nearly invisible spiders that are somehow also always nearby.
That's actually a good idea, though, don't capture them otherwise you are just making the spider equivalent of a dog
I'm hoping for something more like cats. They handle the pest control and I just offer them food, shelter, healthcare, entertainment and maybe some scritches behind the cephalothorax from time to time.
I mean, is that not more or less how house spiders evolved?
Yeah, I think you're right. I'm just suggesting we double down so I can get a tiny little collar that says "Muffin5917620384"
In college, I captured a few jumping spiders from outside. Specifically, the species known to prey on the very problematic spiders that preferred to be inside houses. In less than two weeks, no more tegenaria in my place.
