Wee fellows? Our house spiders are certainly not wee, most of them are big.
A friend had a barn conversion with retained oak beams, on one he had a long
dead (thank goodness!) huge black tarantula spider. I would imagine that
when any living spiders clapped eyes on it they ran a mile. Have you all
noticed how difficult it is to catch spiders with your hands? They
invariably run away being it seems, more afraid of us than we are of them.
