Here you are, Mups. We have lots here & I do kill them if I see them. Mostly I see their very untidy webs though, as the spiders are crafty. They won't attack unless provoked, but our next door neighbour got bitten by one when he was clearing out his shed. He was ill for several weeks, not everyone is allergic to their bites, but as I am allergic to wasp, bee stings & horsefly bites I'm not taking any chances with them.
This is the nasty one.....

Re: Beware of Spiders

Hi

Wimps the lot of you.

Now this is a real spider to be wary of.

Find one of them in your garden and then worry.

Re: Beware of Spiders

The article was a bit skeptical that the spider actually killed that mouse, even so it is a pretty impressive spider. It wasn't said if that spider is a dangerous one to humans though.
