One doesn't see many spiders around the house at this time of year but this one popped into the kitchen today.
It is a female Amaurobius similis which lives in holes in walls, fences and window frames within which it makes a tubular retreat with bluish silk threads around the entrance.
You may have heard of Project 365 in whic people post a photograph every day for a year. This is my version – the idea is to post a photo taken every day but I am realistic enough to know that there will be a day or two missed during the year.
creepy-crawly...better in a photo than in my house :o)
ReplyDeleteThat yellow on it's back causes me to feel cautious.
