I love these things! the first one I ever saw was when we lived in Boston, and I nearly fell over dead because I thought it was a huge spider at first. I have them here in Binghamton too. They're very common. They really are pretty little predators. And they're cute... because they have this tough attitude, but need to be rescued if they fall into the sink or bathtub. This may sound insane... (!!!) but I even gave "mouth to spiracle" resuscitation to one once, by placing it on an absorbent paper towel and blowing gently on it til it was no longer waterlogged.
