You can tell colder weather is coming. Our big Bath Spider has made his way into our bath again to take up indoor residence. He's massive and has to be gently removed every time the bath is used as he makes for the plughole and we don't want to risk drowning him!

The RSPCA would be proud of us

Frankly Primrose, in this day and age I think he might be more likely to leave the bath for a sum greater than 50p. don't think that's enough to tempt him to the sweetie shop

Oh I didn't see it as bribery and corruption Pa Snip. I just put the coin there to give some idea of his size. Maybe I'll have to put down a tiny saucer of cat food for him and turn him into a tarantula.

Seriously, does anybody know what these spiders survive on indoors where there arn't the natural insects flying around when.they are outdoors?

That gives me the shivers just looking at it. He certainly wouldn't be given the term resident in our house, but I wouldn't ever kill it but the cat's might.
