The fen raft spider is not only the rarest spider in Britain but one of the rarest organisms in the UK.

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 !

Re: The man who feeds flies to baby spiders with his mouth
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.
