It's freezing here and there are definitely no bugs around for this fella. What should I do to make his stay a bit more pleasant?

there has been one of these living in the ceiling of my shower in every house or apartment I have ever lived in

Hey I’ve got one there too! She had an egg sack this year, and shortly after they all hatched out and dispersed, she disappeared.

We had an agreement that as long as she stayed in her corner when I was showering, she could stay. And she did! But for about a week she had a buddy on the other side of the shower, and he did not get the memo. He went down the drain when he tried to crawl to the middle right above me. No thanks spider bro.
