well that was certainly enlightening! I was one of those who thought them more of a pest since they seem to multiply rather rapidly, and all those legs, while mesmerizing also weird me out. Doesnt help that one crawled onto my face while I trying to fall asleep one night and scared the ever-loving crap out of me. Only time ive ever shaken my habds like a little frightened child. Anyways good to know they're actually helping me out, I'll definitely be making o point of leaving them be, maybe I'll even keep one as a pet if I can get passed my mental block. I already buy crickets for my geckos so it wouldnt be a stretch to get to pay a few extra cents for food. thank you so much oh Bug master Stoney much appreciated
