I'm playing LJ Catch Up this morning and there's a tiny spider, smaller than my thumbnail if I count legs and all, wandering all over my computer monitor. She's clearly lost. In over an hour she has not found a way to walk OFF the monitor, nor has she set up housekeeping anywhere. Every so often she goes across the screen, over something I'm reading.

If I were wearing anything I'd just put her out. Aw heck, my back door is isolated, I'll put her out anyway. I've just been too lazy to get up and do it; that's the bottom line.

A friend of mine and I have a theory. Years ago we noticed that we were both noticing a lot of baby spiders right around the same time of year and always around our computers (we stay in contact online). At the time, we both had desktop computers with the box lying horizontally and our monitors sitting on top of the box. Our theory was that the mama spider laid her eggs someplace in the box because it was warm and that they were hatching inside the computer and emerging onto our desks.

I rather liked that idea, and I rather liked the baby spiders :):).
