Spider attack at the Halfway House

So Esther and I , on our way back from our Smith's adventure, discovered this on our doorstep:

Needless to say, we tried to swipe at with a broom with no success and it's still there.  So guess who had dreams about spider bites?  I woke up twice in an hour because I was afraid I was going to get bitten.  This adds to the dream I had earlier about a spider on me.  I'm still convinced that was not a dream.  In the meantime, the spider plague continues.
