Cellar Spiders

None here, although we had an infestation of the little beggars in our last house.
ReplyDeleteThe ones that intrigue me are the wing-mirror spiders.
Sam - wing-mirror spiders certainly are intriguing. I wonder if they are attracted to heated wing mirrors.
ReplyDeleteNarcissistic arachnids.
ReplyDeleteWho like a bit of a breeze which carries dinner to them.
Wing mirror spiders? Yes, very wired. I also have CCTV camera spiders. When there's a web on the camera, I go out and give it a good do with the feather duster, only to see the little bugger starting to rebuild by the time I've got back inside and on the couch
ReplyDeleteDoonhamer - and have a place to hide when the breeze becomes a roaring gale.
ReplyDeleteBucko - a relative sees them crawling across his rear-view car camera. I'll tell him he needs a feather duster.
I let spiders live in my house undisturbed. Never see flies or other small insects.
ReplyDeleteBut then I do not have any of the fairer sex at home presently - they might object to my mini-zoo!
Ed - spider don't bother me, but the messy webs of cellar spiders have a hint of dereliction about them, so out comes the vacuum cleaner.
