anyone noticed the spiders coming into homes are getting bigger!!
Normally I can pick them up in one hand and put them back outside but over the past few weeks they have been huge, you need both hands to catch them and then problems opening door to let them back outside.
I would say including legs they can be diameter of a tennis ball and run bloody fast when you are trying to catch them
is warmer weather making them grow |

They are great for potions and brews.
Bubble bubble toil and trouble. ..
Hee hee
I catch them with a glass and let them go free. There is far to much killing in the world. ...I don't need to add to it.
Kisses |

It's mating season. We have a Charlotte. Not a huge 1, but in the corner of the bathroom window, made an egg sack, mini me is fascinated with them and we managed to film it when the tiny babies were emerging. |

North Essex not far from Stansted is a fruit packing factory. There is a big population of huge buggers around there and it's spreading.
There are false widows around which look almost identical to the ozzie red back or american black widow, they are pretty placid.
I have been quite surprised by the number of people recently that have suffered adverse effects from spider bites from native spiders, causing quite bad necrosis of the bite area and needing hospital treatment...So no need to panic.  |

As far as I'm aware there are no poisonous native spiders in the UK... there is the False Widow, which might give you a nip but won;t hurt you seriously.
And THEN there's all these bloody FOREIGN spiders, comin' over 'ere in people's collections, hangin' about in zoos, waitin' for our kids!
I SWEAR that if one of 'em comes NEAR my daughter I'll do TIME!!!

Given the time of year it's because all the males are out looking to mate, they tend to be leggier so they can run away quicker afterwards rather than being eaten
I just pop them outside (: |

Keep the areas around your doors and windows that you open, as clear of anything as possible. Clutter, plants etc provide the perfect places for them to move indoors from.
Horse chestnuts don't deter, according to tests. But open spaces do |

"Careful, did you see the news , a guy in Australia got bit on his cock by one, while on the toilet
For the second time wasnt it "
Yes! That did make me wonder, has the guy actually got some sort of fetish, or likes the attention ?
Still, glad we don't have spiders that aggressive |
