    Some bad news for people who don't like spiders.

    More Spiders Expected This Autumn

    I hate the bloody things, I'm opposite to must who dislike them though, the smaller they are the creepier they are for me. It's the really small furry black ones I don't like, I help a tarantula at a zoo a few years ago and I think because it was big enough to hold and pet that it did not bother me so much, but them fast little'ens, they some scary mo'fo's

    Living and dying laughing and crying
    Once you have seen it you will never be the same
    Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
    Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean

    Re: Some bad news for people who don't like spiders.

    I like to go around the house picking up daddy longlegs and putting them in spider webs.

    Haven't seen many of the bigger garden spiders around this year though.

    I've noticed lots and lots of spiders and crane flies around here, it's great fun inverting a gas duster can and freezing them!

    To be honest it's the little ones you need to worry about

    Seen some pretty beefy ones being back home now, I just leave them to their thing or escort them outside to do their thing

    Fortunately my cats seem to keep the spider population under control which is about there level of prey, earlier today a squirrel jumped onto the fence and the cats went running for cover!

    Re: Some bad news for people who don't like spiders.

    I never understood why people are scared of spiders.

    1. They're tiny
    2. If you felt threatened by a spider, just squash it if your that worried
    3. It's very rare you see a spider in England that could poison or kill you
    4. Spiders eat pretty much every other insect (more spiders=less flying annoying creatures)

    Well that's what I think anyway

    Love spiders, and i would never kill one

    Re: Some bad news for people who don't like spiders.

    im sorry,

    Found this huge one outside yesterday, must of been 4 inches long and wide, did the whole handtreadmill thing and then let him do his thing after, he was pretty fast too, like a little tarantula.
