Here's a baby step towards spider tolerance: neither of those spiders can make a Charlotte-type web. So, any spider you see hanging out in one of these 🕸️ is not only not a danger to you, she's taking prey and space away from the scary ones, so you want more like her to crowd them out.

I love the pointy boys that make really good webs!
