false black widow attack kent

[Rich2484]

so looks like its time to keep the eyes peeled. an attack was reported.

 

the spiders have been around for years but they are now becoming more populated, not good for the climbers i guess.

 

so if anyone is seen running around throwing there arms around screaming like a girl you know why.

 

just a heads up for those that havnt seen it yet.

I did read the Whole article including-

 

The false widow spider first came to the UK over 100 years ago in crates of fruit from the Canary Islands. It has been established in Devon for a long time but recently climate change has caused the population to spread across the south east.

 

Sorry Rich

To say i am scared of spiders is an under statement:blushing: I wish i had not read that.

Hmmm... that's what they invented the .410 cartridge for, if you ask me!
