The fen raft spider is not only the rarest spider in Britain but one of the rarest organisms in the UK.
In a project funded by Natural England, the John Innes Centre in Norwich is breeding and studying the species in preparation for releasing them into the wild
Interesting to some but I guess the spider haters won't look.

I like spiders and the next chavvy idiot who tells me they crawl into your mouth when you are asleep will get...:bsmack:

You mean they don't crawl into...... :confused:

I can't and won't click on any links to do with spiders. I can't be in the same room as one. Size of them doesn't matter either, obviously if it's too big I won't share the same house.

This guy sounds sick !

Haha - me neither.
One fell on my shoulder once and and the response was: "Cath, don't look".
I FELT the thump! And it was huge.
They might as well be an axe murderer - irrational I know :D
Keep a bloke handy :)
But I may just peek at the link and... I'm far too inquisitive...

Nah I spent the first 7 years of my life shaking out my shoes every morning in case of scorpions or venomous snakes and spiders too.

My mother was terrified I'd find something, I was disappointed when I didn't.:D
