Spiders on Guam

Because all of their natural predators have been eradicated by the Brown Treesnake, there is probably one of these things per square foot on Guam. While working, a web will inevitably end up across my face, and for that reason, I have grown to despise the ones that live in the jungle. But I like those which set up their homes at our house, as long as they are out of my way. And Fern likes them too because they keep the bugs at bay. Below is one of our current porch residents.
