I like spiders for the same reason as Rindy, they eat flies. The biggest one we ever had in our house was about 5" across. It was on my younger daughter's bedroom ceiling. My husband was away, (not that he'd have been much use as he was, shall we say, not a spider fan) so my son tried to catch it in a jar. He missed and it fell off the ceiling and my daughter insisted on sleeping with me for the rest of the week.

We get some quite pretty ones in the garden, often spotty or striped, and some big hairy ones lurking under plant pots. I just wish they ate slugs and snails.
