Thank you for giving it a good home. You’ll probably see more Fishing Spiders and Wolf Spiders in the pool. They tend to float near the skimmers and let the pool deliver fresh bugs to them. Unfortunately some people kill them. When I visited relatives with a pool I tried to remove the spiders from the skimmers throughout the day before they killed them. I can’t get through to everyone about needless Killing. 🙁
