Arachnaphobia 2


Scores more baby huntsman appeared overnight, speckling the hall ceiling. I should point out that they are tiny and harmless. For the most part, I used a brush to get them outside, the brushhead streaming with mite sized spiders decending on silken threads, like commandos from a helicopter. Unfortunately, a obstinate few tucked themselves out of reach of the brush, so I had to get a ladder and a vacuum cleaner. I would have preferred if they'd have come quietly.
By the way, mummy huntsman protects her egg sacs for three weeks.
