Spiders. Last couple of weeks I seem to walk into light cobwebs wherever I go. Never seen/felt so many, must be the perfect storm with ideal weather conditions...

Still not enough of 'em though.
I thought their webs were supposed to catch flies but I have had so many bites this year.
Many turned septic.
I dont remember being bitten so much, if at all, as a kid.
Last night had the biggest house spider I've ever seen, about the same size as a DVD
Warmer climate - more insects.Quote:

Same here. One set of bites were the itchiest I've ever experienced. Ended up going to the chemist to get some advice.Quote:

spiders and insects don't have lungs because of their exoskeleton, so they just absorb oxygen through their "skin", rather than breathing it in. if they get too big they can't get enough oxygen into their muscles. also eventually the exoskeleton wouldn't be able to support its own weightQuote:
