Insight To Chaos

So for about 2 months now, there’s been this black widow chillin’ out on my stoop. She’s not there all of the time – only at night. It’s a bit weird. Every night I come home and she’s just hangin’ out on a fresh web between the top landing and the first step. I haven’t killed her because I just don’t see a need to. She stays on her side and I leave her alone. My theory – as long as we leave each other alone and she doesn’t hang out 24/7 then we’re cool.
When I got home tonight though I found, as usual, charlotte hangin’ out on her side of the ledge and another spider chillin’ on the same web just a couple of inches from her. I watched them for a few minutes. Partly because I was curious about why two very different spiders were kickin’ it on the same web, but mostly because I don’t fully trust either of them. I won’t kill ’em…as long as then don’t come near me. So there I am watching these two spiders hang out. All of a sudden, Charlotte freaks out and starts chasing the other spider up the web. Like she just got tired of this other spider freeloading on HER web. I have no idea what this other spider may have done or said to charlotte to piss her off. But, before I could have even tried to figure it out, the other spider was at the top of the ledge and Charlotte was heading back to her spot to hang out for the rest of the night. This other little one probably just needed a place to crash for the night. I don’t know. Char handled it though. Apparently she doesn’t fuck around when it come to her space. The thing is, I had noticed that she built her little web a little further over to the middle of my stoop tonight thus giving me less room. I can’t say that I appreciate that very much. I’ll be diplomatic though. I’ll give her another night to rectify our shared space. But if she thinks she’s gonna take over that legde without at least pitching in for some rent, she’s got another thing coming. I’ll let her know that that isn’t cool and she can stay if she keeps to her side. Otherwise, I’ll spray down the whole area with raid and move on with my life. Truth is, I’m a little afraid of her cause she’s a black widow and all. But fuck that I say! I’m bigger! I’ll fuck her shit up if she tries anything.
Okay, so this was a bit of a crazy rant. But whatever! I don’t mind spiders hanging out outside as long as they don’t get in my way. I’ll fuck her shit up if she tries to take me over. I got this! Shit, I might just step on her ass if she keeps this up. I still thought it was cool that she punked that other spider…
