.....SPIDERS!
Eugh! They give me a turn every time I see one!
I was horrified today when, on splitting up a pot of perennials, I found what had to be an alien!! :o
A spider with a red front half and a white body. :'(
Couldn't rest until I identified it and here it is:

Who'd of thought it? A wood-louse eating spider. I'll have to (very carefully) release it from its jam jar now - the woodlice are a bigger problem than the spider!

jammyd:
Cool! I didn't know there was a spider whose diet was just woodlice (they must get bored with them)...
I love spiders myself, it's flies and their maggots that make me shudder :-/
Glad to hear that your alien will be released without harm!
see ya,

Hey I could do with some of those spiders!! 8)
I have some weird and wonderful ones here that I can't identify - maybe it's about time a bought a spider book!! :-/
Ceri:
I'm sure I tried that diet once - I've tried all the other bl**dy ones!
allotment_chick:
It's either an ancestral memory thing, or I was frightened by a spider at a young age or I'm Miss Muffett reborn - they do my head in!
I make every effort not to hurt them tho' - I try and catch them under my supply of spider traps - otherwise known as Bonne Maman preserve jars - so that others living here can release them outside!
What give you the shivers, guys?
