OT - house spiders
Could this be a pregnant female? She may not be feeding, but about to build
her egg sac. She could easily become dehydrated however, so it would be kind to provide a source of water. If it's in your inclination to be this kind, I suggest you put out a shallow dish (coffee jar lid or similar) with wet kitchen tissue in it, so she can drink without drowning. If you want to move her, be aware that frosty weather kills spiders(euthanasia for spiders is the deep freeze!) so put her somewhere sheltered. She may not thank you, but she will be grateful. So will I. Spider David W.E. Roberts wrote in message ... "Zipadee Doodar" wrote in message ... I know they do no harm, and are almost mans' best friend but I hate them. And in this house where we have lived for 2 years, they are enormous and scare the compost out of me. Is there anything available to persuade them to go away, or at least not to appear in the bathroom etc? I was thinking something on the lines of those sonic cat scarers etc. BTW I can handle them ok in the garden, just not in the house. Going off topic from the off topic...... The last couple of months have been 'spider time' where all this year's crop grow up and build webs everywhere. We had one in the back bedroom (where I am now) and it never seemed to move during the day - just sat in the web. However it kept growing. So - what do the little darlings feed on? This one just seemed to be drawing in sustenance from the air. No 'larder' of small insects in evidence at all. I can see the ones outside (which look to be the same species) catching insects in their webs but the ones inside just seem to grow! Not a huge hairy one - just the common ones found on all the plants. Brownish with yellow markings. One of life's little mysteries. Dave R |
