As someone who can’t tolerate most insects in his home: Spiders are welcome. Always have been. And since Adrian Tchaikovskys Children of Time, I started naming them.

Are they all called Portia, Fabian, Viola and Bianca? (That book was so good)

Yes, actually. That one gigantic one on my balcony is named Portia. The one behind my bathroom mirror is named Fabian. So is the one next to my kitchen fan. I just figured they’re both male. Probably.

Gigantic? How big is Portia?

Ok I think I need to paddle back a bit. Her phat ass is roughly 2cm in diameter. Which is laughable for most of the world, but it’s gigantic for German standards. I am almost sure it’s a Eratigena atrica or Große Winkelspinne.

I'm listening to book 2 in the series at the moment. So good also!
