4th November 2012: The flowering ivy bush is awash with spiders; they seem to be hanging from, or crawling over, every flower on the bush. I expect their main food source is the short-palped cranefly. I have to say that I find the spider’s activities very interesting and fail to see why these small creatures fill most people with fear. If it wasn’t for spiders, wouldn’t we be plagued with flies? 🙂

I like them in theory Mike, and I find them fascinating. It’s just a visceral reaction when I see them move or when they look likely to touch me – the scream comes from deep inside! I can never understand why people are scared of snakes, which I love, or mice. It’s a deep reaction and logic doesn’t enter into it.
Strangely enough, Lucy, I feel similarly about injections.:)
I used to be scared of needles, but when I learned to take blood and give injections, I stopped being scared. I used to quite enjoy taking blood, it’s strangely satisfying! 😉
Have you noticed your canines getting longer, Lucy?
Look out for me flitting about Hoo Wood and Wilden Marsh at night, Mike… 😉
I like spiders, but not on me.
Why, what do you imagine the spider will do if it were on you?
