I'd forgotten it (as you do). Thanks for the nostalgic memory.

Actually what strikes fear in my heart, is not a spider
It’s the sound of a dentist’s drill .....argh!

Spidery Facts.

Spiders, globally, eat 800 million tons, yep – read that again - of food a year. That’s twice the weight of all the meat and fish humans consume. So why aren’t they obese? Seen their legs?

In the UK, more types than anywhere else are found in Leicester, 228.
African Camel spiders can gallop at up to 10mph, nicknamed Kalahari Ferrari, they usually catch their lunch on the go.
Their webs are five times stronger than steel. Ancient Greeks used the webs as bandages. The very first Interweb.
