Daddy long legs or B vagans

Based on what Mr. Gone said your T is in with a shout

My guess is that your B. vagans should be ok. As far as it finding you I wouldn't worry that much. Most of my B. vagans are slow growing and if it has a ready food supply as near as it sounds I'd imagine it should be fairly content to set up camp right where it is. So I don't think you will ever know if it makes it or not.

Those spiders used to eat the other spiders and escaped crix in my old house.

I just worry about bare feet . . .

I read this the other day on Wiki when I found some "daddy long legs" next to a widow with her egg sacs.

Certain species of these seemingly benign spiders invade webs of other spiders and eat the host, the eggs or the prey. In some cases the spider vibrates the web of other spiders, mimicking the struggle of trapped prey to lure the host of the web closer. Pholcids are natural predators of the Tegenaria species, and are known to attack and eat redback spiders and huntsman spiders [2][3]. It is this competition that helps keep Tegenaria populations in check, which may be advantageous to humans who live in regions with dense hobo spider populations

Since male huntsmans spiders can attain a legspan of 250–300 mm, I think they might stand a chance against the T

300mm of huntsman would scare the living crap outa me if it was in my basement and I hadn't seen it before...
