They serve a purpose that I appreciate greatly. Rattlesnakes are a big fat nope for me.

At least they eat other bugs?<br /><br />At certain times of the year I see lots of spiders and webs on my trail rides, but luckily they are all close to ground level. Really, there's no vegetation around here that's higher than my knees while mounted so spiders can't get anywhere near my face, a fact I am supremely grateful for after reading your story! That said, BO found both a rattlesnake and a black widow spider on the property last week.
