I like the photo a lot, it looks like some sort of minimalist painting.. and they dont look at all creepy. I'm not bothered by spiders in the wild or in a garden.. and I've even petted a tarantula.. but I confess I kill any I find in my apartment as brown recluse spiders do live in the city... but I'd be inclined to trap and release a Daddy Long Legs if one appeared. ann
