Hog Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 This happened to me yesterday and now today. When I leave my house, a spider jumps from the wall of my house and just missed me! Im not kidding!I did a little search and there are actually 4 jumping spiders in the UK. 2 of them are rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishbone G Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 i very much hope you have never seen the movie, Arachnaphobia.Pretty rubbish, but vaguely terrifying when i first saw it at a young age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ 10 Easy Wishes Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 only literally 4 spiders? or species of them? cos id say that 4 spiders is pretty rare anyway, rather than just 2 out of 4 being rare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DustyDeviada Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 I heard that the lesser spotted british jumping spider is attracted to large, shiny surfaces, which probably explains why it was going for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boss Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 urgh, i found a stripey jumping spider on the wall last year which gave me nightmares until i managed to forget about it, but which undoubtedly will now return as my memory has been jogged. thanks. i have four recently squished spider corpses on my bedroom walls/ceiling which i leave there as a warning to others. (also they wont wipe off, sturdy juices etc). the last one i 'got' was yesterday, when i tracked a fairly podgy spider across the room until it descended to a level i could reach to squish it with the chuck pahluinik (sp?) book with the scary cover. too much information? never!

Wishbone G Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 I was tidying my absolute mess of a room yesterday to get ready for packing for moving to my flat. Spent the whole night scared that all the spiders that were probably living in my stuff before it got thrown away/thrown in the wash/thrown in a box would come and get me. It didnt help that earlier in the day on seperate occasions I saw two spiders running towards my room from the boxes i had packed o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cynic Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 The guy who owns McBeans used to live next door to me, and ground coffee beans in his garage,..........one day I took my washing in (rock'n'roll!!!!), and a massive big spider with a body like a coffee bean jumped out. It scared the faeces out of me, but I released it in the back garden, where it culled the local cat population. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belladonnaleaves Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 For what its worth, i believe there are more species of british jumping spiders than 4. 34 i think>http://delta-intkey.com/britsp/www/salticid.htm So loads more for folks to squash or whatever.
