Incidentally, my wife used to have one of these Nephila spiders nesting in the high ceiling of her living room when she was living in Queensland. I guess she used it to dissuade potential suitors, but somehow I made it through.

Very cool!
So I take it the that your wife was supporting a bias towards arthropodiphiles?

Seems like a reasonable bias to me.
