Not your common garden variety spiders (Lounged)

[candj]

Ah, the rosemary beetle. They also like lavender, fyi, and the only way I have been able to get rid of them is to hand pick each one and squash it. This was also the advice of the garden centre, as well, as they do not have any predators here. Absolutely revolting!

Bloody foreigners.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Yeah! Put them in the freezer and squash them.

Time to move this discussion to the Lounge as it is no longer East Dulwich specific.

Those funnely spiders I have in my rear house wall each year, where the builders once drilled (and did not fill) holes to injection my damp-proof course. Each drilled hole has one and they sit an inch or two inside the hole waiting for action.

They've been there for years seasonally but I don't think they're from hotter climbs or owt.

But yeah when you shine a torch in their holes (!) at night, their fangs stand out bigstyle and look totally out of proportion, exceeding even the most exaggerated expectations a spider could ever have of looking dangerous by way of the fangs it's toting.
