False widow and some wet wings

[Paul Iddon]

I am delighted to say I have tonight counted 8 (eight!) different Steatoda bipunctata on the fence panels tonight - I assume all from the same parent & her clutch of eggs which I found earlier this year.

Here too are a couple of rather wet subjects - the night time dew and rain on them is cool...

Paul.

Ditto m8. They've managed to spread over 4 or 5 panels so they've travelled well.

It's a shame that so many people associate these with severe bites, but they rarely do bite humans, and when something happens to suggest a spider bite it gets blown up out of all proportions.

Absolutely, they want to try living in Australia
