Three times in the last 3 or 4 months I have had a spider lower itself on a thread very, very close to me (an inch or less), and this is the second time a spider has lowered itself between my husband and I. Each time I have hurled myself away from the spider into a poorly-placed object near me. I've looked it up online and gotten some contradicting answers as to what is happening, and I was curious to know what you guys think is going on?
