Yikes!

Looks like a member of the Black Widow family of spiders has settled in the UK and there are some in Devon by the looks of it.

While the story initially seems more frightning than it is due to some journalistic licencing "The False Widow, a purple and black creature with a body the size of a 1p piece, is said to carry enough venom to kill a human.", later on it says that it doesn't kill.

Still, with climate change thought to be responsible for this, I wonder what other 'delightful' animals may end up on our shores?

"They have been arriving in banana shipments for 140 years"

Pfff damn that! If they have known about it for that long why have they not done something. Stop importing banana's!! If this "climate change" is as real as they say we should be able to grow our own in Devon anyway!

Definitely yikes!

I can't even stand the cobweb spiders we have in our house, so knowing there are a few of these beasts running around the area, I'll be checking the loo bowl before I go anywhere near it!

Machie - looks like the sheds in you area are under attack!

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
I am delighted.
Brilliant! As usual the careful and intuitive production that Freeola puts into everything it sets out to do. I am delighted.
