LOL! Well, the photos make them look larger than they are, though they are obviously a decent size -- check out the photo of the spider with the pillbug: http://spiders.entomology.wisc.edu/D...a/crocata.html

We do have LOTS of pillbugs around, so I understand why these critters would be hanging around. Maybe I'll let them live after all. I found something saying that their bites do hurt, but that the venom is harmless to humans.

I hear ya on the mouse-sized flying roaches. I grew up in Louisiana, and we had TONS of those things around!
