Spiders in the UK

[COYBL25]

Bet he was wearing a North face trackie

Wouldn't be able to run, he’d be too stoned to be arsed.

What gets on my nerves is when you walk through a doorway and get a face full of web

We’ve got a whopper that lives in the kitchen, that I feed flies to.

My missus has no idea that it’s there or I’ve turned it into an evil pet

With some water in a sprayer, knock a wasp out of the air and then stage your own miniature 'Clash of the titans' event. Spiders really do not like the sting so it may take a few rounds.

Spot on! Why do spiders love building webs at roughly 6'7"? Bane of my existence.

Spotted this story at the time.

Rare lichen spider spotted in Cornwall

The spiders of the "near-threatened" breed can camouflage themselves on branches to wait for prey.

I never kill spiders.

Same. The only insects I have a problem with is woodlice - they burrow into nearly ripened tomatoes and peppers in the greenhouse and ruin them, Ugh!

spiders aren't insects.
and moths are massive knob heads as well. (flying food for bats apparently, you know, bats that carry friggin' rabies ffs!).

Hate the little gets.

I thought Ziggy had to break up the band?

 

[Cecil]

Heard they get huge around the Anfield area. Especially the underfloor dwellers. Highly dangerous to Russians.

…my daughter-in-law has a proper fear of them but I don’t mind them. I’m of a mind that they kill bugs like houseflies etc, would never kill a spider, tend to catch them and put back outside.

Worth looking out for on your holidays.
I spent a few years living in Africa so got used to knocking my shoes out before putting them on. Found one here in Spain a few years ago so transplanted a couple of geckos from the garage into the apartment,now they rule it,not an insect in sight.

I have no problem at all with spiders. It's just the webs that I find annoying.

 

[BITTER TWISTED & BLUE]

Buggers get into the bath every morning,I leave relocation to the wife.
I do the Toads,wife’s petrified of them.

Thanks for that, renal failure from a europeanised 8 legged pain in the arse. Happy Saturday morning everyone.
