13. I don't mind spiders, either.

Like you said, they're good at catching a lot of other things that I would definitely not enjoy having around.

I made a point of teaching my daughter about spiders when she was little, telling her that they are our friends, so that she would not grow up to be afraid of them. It must have worked, because she's almost 40 now, and she actually loves spiders!

Of course there are a few varieties that humans need to be wary of, like the black widow and brown recluse spiders, but we live far enough north to be out of their range.
