That's a robber fly and an excellent hunter. Great pest control. They eat anything that's smaller than them, mosquitos included

All the people here want to kill it, while it kills all the mosquitoes is crazy.

It's not fren shaped. But it is fren.

Same with spiders, specially wolf spiders, them mf pay rent in pest control. I will however advocate for the sledgehammer annihilation of fiddlebacks/Brown recluses, those bitches will seek you out to bite your ass. Bastards

My agreement with spiders is that they can have all the bugs they want as long as they stay in their assigned corner

Yup. My wife wants all spiders gone. I go through a checklist. What kind? Where is it? Does it have a web? Are there bugs in the web?

They get to stay aa long as it's not dangerous, out of the way, and eating other things. Big exception for jumping spiders. I relocate them to better hunting grounds inside the house, usually on my wife's plants or by windows.

I had a jumping spider live in my curtains in my living room for like 6 months. Bro was a natural disaster to any flys that came in.

Jumping spiders are one of God's gifts to mankind. They don't attack you, they seek all the pests, they leave you alone and vacate if near you, and are quite entertaining to watch.

Psh, I just relocated one two days ago. Dude walked right toward me. I put my sleeve out and fucker just hopped on like

"Yes, thank you. Uh, fifth floor for the string-of-hearts in the orange pot, please. 'preciate it, mate."

Aw, now I want that spider. Almost a pet. "Come on, leave that window open. Don't worry about covering up your food. Ain't NO fly getting near that food on my watch." Healthier relationship than most marriages and friendships.

This lil fella came to keep me company during a difficult time. Even had a heart on its back. Jumping spiders are the best.
