Update: Whatever Happened To The Giant Spiders?

I was emptying my phone's media album today and realised I'd never added a long-planned update about the reappearance of those godawful giant spiders, since they finally disappeared at the end of the autumn - one point in favour of freezing cold weather.

Ice awaits this creepy mofo.

Anyway, I'm putting this up anyway, since otherwise there'd have been no point in documenting it in the first place:



I really wish the one I caught under the glass had been the only one - I can deal with these things being there and being freakishly gigantic... well, not very well, admittedly... but still.

However, as it turns out, the little feckers are fast too - probably one of the most surreal moments of my life up to that point was the moment of seeing one whizzing across the vast expanse of the living room carpet like it was about to bring down a friggin' antelope on the savannah.

...eeeyeurgh.
