So strange to wake up and read this after having bad dreams all night about being in a house infested with big ugly yellow spiders (by product of all the time I've spent in the greenhouse latley i think). In my dream I was trying to vacuum them up, in hindsight I guess I should have been getting my snack on....

I'm with you bej, spiders for breakfast dinner and tea from know on!!!!!!

I guess I've just personally been clueless and totally missing out - gonna head straight to the garage and rummage behind boxes and stuff in hopes of making up for lost time.

This is unrelated, except that taurine is involved. I post it here only because I just read it tonight, and thought it was fascinating, and taurine gives me the excuse. From What It's Like to be a Bird (great book!): "Chickadees mostly bring caterpillars to their newly hatched nestlings (they can collect over a thousand in a day), but for the first week or so after hatching the adults make special efforts to seek out spiders to feed their young. Spiders provide the nutrient taurine, which is essential for brain development and other functions."

Gonna be my go to snack when busting know!!!!!!

I can make the world alot bigger if you want me to @CHfather

Wait . . . You mean everyone doesn't already do that?

Especially going by @BoscoPiko's reaction, not willing to put my money where my mouth is and even give that a single viewing.
