Poor spider may very well be dead. Euthanasia for spiders (normally
pet
tarantulas) is the deep freeze :~(

How truly reassuring......

LOL! I thought you'd appreciate that.

I read somewhere recently that you can discover new species of all kinds
of insects in your own garden.

Do give me a 'ping' if you remember where you read it, please. Although I
don't know all the wee beasties in my garden, I feel I've seen a few new
ones this summer, including a new (to me) spider. I didn't check it out,
but will look for it next year. It's probably as common as muck, but I
enjoy looking. I could do with an up-to-date insect guide to cover all the
new bugs this, er, global warming has introduced. The only good thing about
the current freeze is that it should wipe out a few of the nasty little
critters that have been plaguing us.
