I'd be moving! Have you seen the story about nests of those living inside the walls and attics of homes? Seriously, when we recently moved back from overseas we were wide open as to where to live except for a few necessities. I did months of research and one of my criteria was safety from natural disasters. I have lived in California (earthquakes) and Florida (hurricanes), and west Tennessee (tornadoes), so I was looking for a place that minimized those possibilities. I came across a web site by accident that showed the normal range of that spider and it runs east generally to the Blue Ridge or Appalachian mountains. We picked central North Carolina based on all those things (I'm an arachnophobic).

No tarantula's there either, but what about black widows? BTW, if you happened to be paranoid of scorpion's you would have had to mov north of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada.

Picky,I know, but to call a spider an insect means you have nothing to add of importance. why add, go do some basic research and get back to us. Thank you

I did eventually research something -
You'd better correct Dictionary.com:
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/insect?s=t
&
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/entomology?s=t

Glad I could help.
(And I do know that arachnids have eight legs and insects have six legs and are in the same phylum?
But most of the general population will call them insects.)
