It is supposed to be a good year for them. I don't mind them but I hate walking into webs that get strung across the trees at night.

It's when you get indoors, after walking into one, sit down and feel that movement in your hair  :o

I am not scared of spiders, but I wouldn't want one that big on my hand! We have a huge one who lives in our living room.

we have various spinners in most rooms of the house, very little other insect problems, though!  ;) ;D ;D ;D
here's the one in the front-room last week.

 We have a spider , called  Webster, lives in the lounge he is quite big hence the name, remember the toy!! Nooooo, not that big ;D ;D ;D.
Hope the new buyers do not kill him off he has been here a while now but looks a bit scary at night when the lights off he comes running about the wooden floor.

My Oh likes spiders, I can't stand them meself.  Last year he had a pet one that lived by the bins, he called him Hoffman ......... Dustbin Hoffman - geddit? He thought it was hilarious  ::)

Our house is 1990s meets tudor style version  ::)

I mock but love it really  :D

Anyway hubby and I are usually leaving for work about 6.30am but come the summer months you can gurantee that overnight the spiders have been busy weaving across the front door porch beams which means inevitably that we rush outside for work in the early hours and result in having a spidersweb stuck on our faces which we are scraping off during our car journey  ::)

Good pic Tony, thought it was superimposed for a moment!  :o

Found this one on my bathroom wall a couple of years ago, had to measure it as it was so big. Caught it in a glass as I couldnt bring myself to pick it up!

Can anyone explain why a spider has to have eight legs but an elephant can make do with only four?

Our youngest daughter is terrified of them. We visited last week & as we were leaving there was a huge one on the verbena bonariensis, the sort with big bellies. She was so scared she couldn't see us off & hasn't been in the garden since. Any hints to help please. She doesn't want them destroyed or moved but can't go near them.

Bizarre I know Granny, but I am sure I read somewhere that they reckon conkers keep em away!
