I'm afraid that the invasion of the Downs by a swarm of spiders might be my fault. . .
They've come in search of their friends! (Shameless self-promotion? Me? ME? Not possible, not possible. . . . . .well. . . . . .maybe a little possible.)

By far the most amazing thing about your post, Rimb, is something I haven't noticed until now -- 243 users online on 10/9?!!! A sac of spider eggs must have burst open on that day.

Part of the reason I posted that line as well, Unde - wondered if anyone else wondered at it, so to speak. I rarely see more than twenty names on the site, and certainly nowhere near three figures, spiders or no.

Perhaps the 'Downs ought to adopt a Forum cat, who will be sure to make short work of any spiders. He might bring some headless mice in though.

On the other hand: the higher the spider population, the lower the mosquito population. Used to keep a web or three in the room up at camp, and slept better without the mosquito's background music.
Then again, there was that one time I woke to the sound of scratchy little footsteps; to find a Shelob marching down the ancient green canvas windowshade towards my pillow. She had to be a bloated grey inch across, just on her body. Scared the sleep right outa me, and I boxed her up and took her outside...
