Have got a modest sized Boris in my bathroom. She seems to like the bit between an old gas tap and the shower rail. Keep trying not to splash her when I'm in there.
There are loads of webs in the garden.

I'm not a big fan of your average house spider, though not afraid of them. But the little jumping spiders are quite cute. I like the way they turn to look at you.

Bad news I'm afraid . . .

Had to get suityou02 to get rid of in the end.
Phew.

I wonder how the thing lost a leg...?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/wildfact...iles/350.shtmlZebra spiders belong to the family Salticidae (also known as jumping spiders) who are believed to have the best eyesight of any arthropod. If you take a close look at one of these spiders it will often turn its head to look straight back at you.

At least they're small unlike the giant house spiders I'm getting invaded with at this time of year.
Yeah Pogle I know...
