As someone who can’t tolerate most insects in his home: Spiders are welcome. Always have been. And since Adrian Tchaikovskys Children of Time, I started naming them.
Yes, actually. That one gigantic one on my balcony is named Portia. The one behind my bathroom mirror is named Fabian. So is the one next to my kitchen fan. I just figured they’re both male. Probably.
