Can't Spiders Shift
Can't Spiders ShiftI was hanging some washing on the line yesterday and couldn’t help but notice dozens of spiders (the ones with the pale bums) sun bathing on the patio. As I approached they all scarpered at an impressive rate; they must be the cheetahs of the back yard microcosm.

I bet they didn't have pale bums long, in that sunshine.

I really hate spiders. I dont care that they eat the bugs blah blah, all I jnow is that if one touches me i am sacred enough to have an accident. Even looking at pictures of them gives me goose bumps, i have to do a spider check at noght before the lights are turned out
and yes you are right they can shift when they want to, lazily creaping over the ceiling and down the wall, then when someone finally gets a glass they scurry off into the corner faster than the speed of ligh-they know what they are doing 5 dogs, 15 chickens (6 ex batts) 1 cockerel, and very limited tech skills
I don't mind spiders at all, I think they're fascinating with all the different types.
Not too keen on the giant ones that crawl across the floor when I'm watching a spooky film with the lights off but I never worry about them as they eat the flying things that bite me when I'm asleep. Also, my mum used to say that if you killed a spider it rained, so I never have Jackie xx
My Mum used to say if you killed a spider you wouldn't go to Heaven. I am not risking it.
I don't mind spiders. Worse thing is when one walks across the hall while I am taking my classes. Everyone seems to flip, stand on chairs, taking the dogs with them !!! When I go an pick it up to put it out the window, everyone screams. Right, a spider is going to kill me. Not. LOL Wendy http://www.busheyk9.co.uk

Do you mean the ones that carry white balls of eggs around with them? I think they are called wolf spiders. And when they hatch the look all knobbly with the babies riding on their back. Wendy, my Mum used to say "If you want to live and thrive let a spider run alive" I like them; I was that annoying kid with the toy ones to scare people.
Re: Can't Spiders Shift
I can’t remember what they’re called but they have got very pale abdomens and reddish thorax and legs, they eat woodlice almost exclusively I remembered that bit) and millions of them live on our patio. I'll have to look them up in my hongkong book of kung-fu. Bah Humbug
