Hard Working Brit.

I accidentally destroyed a spider web in the garden a couple of hours ago.

My determined eight-legged friend is just applying the finishing touches to his new web and he didn't moan once. Hope he gets a few of these wasps for supper.

It can't be easy trying to live in the land of giants. We don't get many spiders in our house, but I am afraid that my companions tend to eat the ones that find their way here. It's a cat thing!

[sandyRoe]

If a spider does not choose to work neither shall he eat. A twist on Thatcher's take from the good book.

[Zacs-Master]

The least you can do is kill a fly and stick it to the center of his web.

[doctordb]

does it have to be alive? i have a dead wasp on the window sill Zacs.:)

[Octavius]

You must live in a very liberal environment. I live in a dictatorship where there is a maniacal edict of genocidal temdencies towards our eight legged friends by Mrs Octo. I help them into hiding before smuggling them across the border.

[Zacs-Master]

Might be past it's 'best by' date Doc.

[doctordb]

He's sat in the centre. Must be knackered.

[sandyRoe]

He's waiting for a meal delivery.

[Zacs-Master]

Maybe he's feeling chilly so has gone for central eating.

[askyourgran]

Lol octavius, at the moment all the biggies are outside spinning away, one is attached to my washing line taking up a huge space, can't hang my smalls there now.

[doctordb]

Just popped a wasp on the web and he's wrapped it up for later.

How sexist of me. He could be a she.

[albaqwerty]

I love spiders' webs in the winter, all lovely and shimmery.

Have a house-trained spider near the front door, I refuse to destroy it's web.

[Octavius]

Not if its got nine legs.

[albaqwerty]

a nine-legged spider would be easy to spot, it would limp.
Also it would have problems buying roller-skates.
An 8-legged one only needs to buy 4 pairs.

[Zacs-Master]

not to mention trousers.

[doctordb]

alba, the ninth leg could be used as a brake.

[Octavius]

Any self respecting male spider would not put a roller skate on its "ninth" leg. Only politicians do that sort of thing.

[askyourgran]

He could of course be entered into the Guinness book of Records, and the ninth leg would be useful as a brake if he takes up skateboarding.

[albaqwerty]

LOL, you do know I'm going to have to find a cartoon spider wearing roller skates and using a brake now don'tcha? :-D

[doctordb]

The dead wasp has been cut off and discarded. This fella only likes fresh food.
