How do spiders know where to live ?

[stillvicarinatutu]

I have a little spider in my bedroom. He wanders between two spots - one is 3/4 of the way down a wall at the ceiling and he wanders into the corner on the other wall , stays there a few days then wanders back to the exact same place on the opposite wall.

How does he know where to stop? He's not very big and I'm leaving him be - but the fact he keeps going to the exact same spots has me fascinated.

No idea, but why do spiders always want to live in my car wing mirrors?
I have no feeling around spiders, will always help one out of the bath etc, but I get really annoyed they want to live in my car mirrors - I feel really guilty every-time I'm on the motorway, the noise must be horrendous!

Same @blackgreywhite I get really worried about my car spiders, and wonder if the left and right wing mirror ones know about each other!

Worse when the fuckers get In the car 😩

They have eyes, and are good at measuring distance with them.

While driving I pulled the sun visor down and there was a gianormous spider under it. It proceeded to run around on the car interior roof getting too close for comfort. I had to abandon park the car and leave 18 month old sleeping ds, get out and call dh to come and get me 😳.

By the time he got there the spider couldn't be found. I drove his car home and then used his car for a month 🤣

I won't roll my windows down if there is a spider in residence in my wing mirrors!

I'm petrified of spiders and my greatest fear is I'll be driving and one will come down in front of me and I will crash and die.
I always check when I get in the car but you never know
That will certainly be the day that I meet my maker!
I need some treatment for it because my phobia is BAD

They're mad aren't they! I think spiders are pretty cool as long as they're not touching me.

I woke up the other night with a spider Infront of my face on the wall and woke up DP to swap sides with the guise of not being comfy 😂😂😂😂

I sometimes think this when I accidentally relocate an insect via my car. Like the fly is going “fuck! I only stopped here to lick these crumbs and now I’m frickin miles away”
Or does it think “ah well, guess I live here now” or is he/she worrying about a family back home.

I think that too!
Especially as I live in a relatively rural area and often drive to London for work, I worry they will be freaked out by the lack of trees, but I guess they get all the chicken shops instead so maybe they are happier there?

Well - he's wandered the long way round and is now sat in the opposite corner of the room . He's tucked up right in the corner and he never walks any lower - always stays at ceiling height . He could have just walked across the back wall to get where he is but he took a detour right round the room with a 2 day stop off in the middle .

I love that!
