They're back..September is SPIDER month

[GoGo_dancer 10]

My old natural history teacher at school told me that a normal person in their lifetime will swallow at least 3 spiders while they sleep:gag:

 

Personally, I love spiders, brilliant engineers, they kill flies and dust mites, hard as nails(flick one onto the floor of a table or worktop, they just get up and walk away), as far as I know British spiders don't carry disease.

 

What's not to like:love:

 

Grown men and women afraid of spiders, answer me this what would you rather be chased by, a spider or an Alsatian. no contest is there?

 

I really hate that I'm afraid of spiders and I know my fear is irrational...I've tried so many times to do the catch and release but I just end up freaking out! I don't mind the ones outside and love to watch the big ones building webs between the bins..I just don't like it when they run from under the sofa towards me!

I think this one pictured running across my living room raffia may be a record, 8 inch leg span - check it out.

I don't mind either actually

 

If I'm being chased by a dog that's usually because they can smell the dried black pudding that's in my pocket as it's the only thing that in Molly's world is worth behaving for

Me and our lass moved to France last year - you should see the size of some of the spiders that get into our house (not to mention the 6ft snake I found in the compost heap)..........................
