My friend Vers and I HATE spiders.

I MEAN HATTTEEEEEE spiders. Most people don’t like them. But I am horrified by them. I saw on in my car while driving and pulled over and proceeded to clean out my whole car right there. Luckily for me it was on a residential road.

One thing I will have to get used to in Austin is the insects. And by insects I’m talking scorpions which are apparently common out there along with giant cockroaches ( whoa…lol).

Great….lol.

Artist James Laurie created these glasses for capturing spiders that often hide in the corner. Don’t you hate it when they do that! I can’t kill them when they do that…and apparently this artist has the solution:

“Frustrated with spiders and other insects trapping themselves within a corner of a room making it difficult to catch. To counter this problem a glass was designed in collaboration with William Tapply, with a right-angled rim to correct this issue, cut and shaped accordingly from a tumbler glass. In order to retain the spider, whilst moving the glass away from the wall a folded sheet of paper is slipped between the glass and corner.”

This beats me always trying to kill spiders with windex since I can never find the can of bug spray when I really need it! Still…I don’t want to get that close to the spider to kill it and it seems this artist is trying to be kind and contain it so they can release it outside when my main goal is simple:

SPRAY/SMASH and KILL

Better stock up on bug spray now…
