I've been trying to be more tolerant of the insect life in my home, especially since there have been no scorpions for about a year now. But... if the house was crawling with them (like when we first moved in) I'd feel differently.

I do have to admit, jumping spiders are cute in a creepy-ugly kind of way. From what I can tell on google & such, Australian wolf spiders are about the same as American ones - big, hairy, various shades of brown, kind of stripey.
