And if my partner was there, the poor spider would be glazed to the ceiling with whatever aerosol he could find. I am the catch and release member of the couple.
Now that I apparently live alone I find it consoling that so many others, largish and very, very small share my home and live out their complex lives with minimum interference. This is not altogether a justification for lack of housework on my part, but it helps.
Elephant's Child, good to hear you're more accepting of other lives ;^). My approach is usually to leave them where they are unless they're causing problems (the rat in the ceiling has to go, I'm afraid).
RR, I'm totally with you on the housework thing ;^)

Barbara, in just the right light, these little spiders can indeed be strikingly beautiful, with a lovely iridescence.
Andrew, I'm pretty sure the fly didn't think so ;^)
