Description
I have seen many spiders tonight...My Dog ate one (I think) .... I would say that something hatched... BUT they are all different types..... and they seem to be large mature spiders...... So are they being driven into my living space..... from the yard?..... from the basement?...
Are they running from some other invader?
this one's just a little grass(funnel) spider.... I found him in my bathroom...

Give them shelter, if they need it! I know that they are ugly creatures but they are nature's way of keeping the balance in this world. They have a very special place in my heart- when Jeremiah was a child , he was terrified from them, but when he became an adult and lived on his own- he took a tarantula as a pet and named her Banga. He loved Banga and even made drawings and photos of her( which I have- some funny and fantasy). I felt that it was a sign that he was confronting his childhood fears- a good sign. Banga is still alive and living with his good friend- her lifespan is over 20 years. So if they are running to you- they are not afraid to be in your space and need you somehow. If anything they have inspired a beautiful creation by you!

Don't worry ... I have loved spiders since I was a kid... Except for the one my dog ate they are all just fine. 
I really wanted a dog when I was young... I begged a lot .... I whined .... And then I tried guilt.... I would collect bugs (roll-up mainly) and keep them as pets. I named them Spot, and Fido... And Lassie.... I really thought that eventually my Mom would take pity on me and let me get a dog....because I was so pathetic.
I didn't win,but, I started liking insects...
Bees and spiders were my favorites. We had an above ground pool in our back yard and I spent hours rescuing any insects that fell in it. I would skim them out and put them in what I called my bee hospital. It was a baking dish full of sand with a fake plastic palm tree (for shade) ... There they could dry off.
If they didn't make it...I made them little coffins out of Popsicle sticks and buried them in their own grave yard beneath a tree. I lost my clear blue Hello Kitty eraser case when a worm died and the Popsicle sticks were a cramped fit.
...
I can't say that I love it if I find a spider crawling on me now .... But I still can't bring myself to kill them if removing or ignoring is an option.
However, if my Dog eats one... I consider it nature at work I guess

That must be why they come to your house- they feel safe and loved- which is very unusual. You're bug hospital and cemetery is quite original- I've never seen such a caring for insects before- but the spiders know it!

LOL, I wish... I live in Wisconsin... I think they make a pact or something... I have plenty of both.... but the mosquitoes are outside (waiting,waiting waiting) at least.
