Bumper number of spiders and daddy long legs this autumn, due to favourable conditions. No shit.

Every morning I see more and more webs outside with those evil looking "holy cross spiders" in the middle. Every morning I have to clear the webs 'twixt wing mirrors and bodywork. Bastards.

Nah, imho it's stunning but you'd have to be very lucky to see one .

And it's not like it's going to get a score draw if it encounters the average domestic cat or dog is it
