Re: The Spider thread
A giant spider just ran across my bedroom floor!
I don't normally like to but I had to jump up and squash it - it was heading straight for some shelving where it would have got lost within, which is never good just before going to bed.
I didn't think June was big spider season!

There is a spider that mimics a ladybird.

Re: The Spider thread
The (quite small) spider (Derek) that lives in a nook at the top of my bedroom window of the Bijou Mini Flatlet has just caught a whopping gert fly.
The fly was at least three times the size of Derek.
I say was because, after a lengthy struggle, the fly (who I think was called Ian), is now completely cocooned in death-silk and has ceased his frantic buzzing for time evermore.

Mealy mouthed Sean Murphy.
What a surprise.

It looked like a harvestman anyway.

Re: The Spider thread
No, after a second look, it's deffo a Tegenaria Gigantia (formerly called Tegenaria Duellica or Tegenaria Domesticus).
a.k.a. the Common House Spider.
Also, to vindicate Murphy further, it's definitely a male - relatively small body, very long legs.
It's also probably turned up in this snooker arena because it's a) looking for a mate as it's the 'season', b) it's the beginning of Autumn and it's looking for warmth.
These are my spidery facts for the day.

A huge house spider just ran from under the settee where I'm sitting!
