Highly relevant paper published today in @Nature tinyurl.com/y4ljxq3s says last remaining wilderness areas are critical in reducing extinction risk of terrestrial biodiversity and, gasp, these areas are not better protected than average @IPBES @CBDNews @IAI_news @NHM_London

It is that time of year again... I nearly stuck my finger through this little one's web - hiding under the rim of hte wheelie bin in my garden.

Scytodes thoracica, are commonly known as spitting spiders. These nocturnal spiders spit an amazingly quick burst of a gummy silk like substance that secures the prey on the spot allowing the spider to approach and administer a venomous bite. #TurnFear2Fascination #LoveSpiders
Just a little something to cheer up the people who don't want to keep looking at spider pictures...
Another wee false widow spider seen last night at 8pm GU2 4RG (Guildford).
I was lucky to see this beautiful creature out exploring.

Recently visited the island of Skomar off the Pembrokeshire Coast. Very much worth the trip!
Great video... #Psychickits
The distinctive white band helps to identify the Noble False Widow spider - this one being busy sorting out a woodlouse - its main choice of dinner. #Arachtober
Sad to see that this outbreak is a long way from under control.

Wonderful sighting!
Showing the exquisite markings of the Noble False Widow Spider. #arachtober
#Arachtober Where would you expect to find a wee spider? In the handle of your saucepan, of course!
Great to see new species being discovered.

Picked up two new additions today: Sicarius thomisoides (six-eyed sand spiders) from Chile. Lots of unknowns about this group of spiders. Some people state these could be the most #venomous spiders known to #science, I'm not testing that out! #Arachtober
