Intermission 5

This post is about spiders so if their not to your liking best wait for my next post which will be along shortly

As summer progresses it is this time of year that our friends the spiders begin to appear in numbers. I am not completely at home with them yet they are fascinating.

It all started when one parachuted down from the ceiling into my line of sight!

We have quite a few of these in our house every Autumn and somehow they got called Trevor. I really cannot remember why!

Anyway Trevor did some dancing on his thread
Trevor looks quite cute really
Then there are the “harvesters” who are very gangly and frail looking.
And over lunch our small black and white jumping spiders put in an appearance
They seemed to like our plates matching their colour scheme

And then there are the hunters

Having met the jumping spiders at lunch I was on the lookout for other spiders and this stunning hunter was wizzing through the grass. Fortunately it stopped to pose for me – I think you can see two sets of eye clusters on the near side

Finally as the nights draw in and cool down our house will become home to some monster chaps who we have measured to about 40mm or 1.5 inches across leg span.

Remember spiders are good home keepers tidying your home of too many insects and other crawlies.
