Had to give up on this, found some references to a Kumo, Demon spider of
Southwest Asia that might be John's spider. My husband says if you kill
one it will rain. A dreaded happening here as we get lots anyway. People
killing spiders? As I said we do have a lot of spiders here but not sure
how many are piosonous, the brown recluse, the black widow. Now who
would turn over a spider to see if it a black widow, the dreaded red
spot is on the underside. A spider bite can be a major problem. I am
getting grossed out about this, still I think there is mythology behind
this in our family. I don't know all the stories. Supper! Jeanne
