Just a quick post as I'm so excited about seeing 'Spider House' this evening (BBC Four, 9pm) - an hour and a half of arachnid love. Reading some blurb about it earlier, I'm sure it's going to be a positive thing for their public image and I'm delighted.
The other night, they even used 'Happy House' in the trailer. Must be good!
Every home should have some! The TV programme last night showed the North American jumping spider (as in the video I've included here) being bigger than our version it was easier to observe and I'm quite jealous! Wonderful stuff.
Looks interesting, but I fear Mrs S will slap an injunction on me to prevent it being viewed in this house!
ReplyDeleteAh, but you never know, it might bring Mrs S round! I'd like to think it could help everyone to love our spiders just a little bit at least.
DeleteI don't love them but we have an uneasy truce. I leave them alone in my room and the eat the skeeters (midges?).

DeleteMust try to see this. Spiders and Prof. Alice Roberts - good combination.
ReplyDeleteI hope you did, SB. I thought it was great all round.
