1980's? They banged loads of B movies out. Killer ants, killer bees etc. Razorback was a particularly bad fave of mine

This was 1950s I think, or possibly 60s. I've got one from the same era about giant killer radioactive ants.1980's? They banged loads of B movies out. Killer ants, killer bees etc. Razorback was a particularly bad fave of mine

- the government agents defer to the Man Of Science
- his daughter is an academic specialist and a looker to boot. my kind of woman
- the FBI guy is assumed to be a whiz kid
on each point cf the US in 2019. i know the Man Of Science was a stereotype built at the beginning of the space age, but i like that stereotype.

There was a similarly spindly species in the bath earlier - though it had a more spherical body.

There have been two in the house I’m staying in. I’m saying two because one was upstairs and looked larger, the other was downstairs and looked smaller. It wasn’t further away, I was downstairs at the time I saw it.

I cycled off in a hurry yesterday, got about 1 mile before a junction meant I slowed down; looked at my handlebars and noticed a spider dangling from them, brown, body about 5mm long.
Was next to a green space with trees at this point so pulled over.
The spider rushed back up the thread to sit on the handlebar grip again. I got it onto a leaf and put it on the grass....
I hope it’s done ok in the new location!

I share my driveway with my neighbour and have to park right up against a hedge, so I regularly find spiders crawling around my car. Luckily they're small enough not to bother me too much. So far. I have one living in each wing mirror too. Quite sweet having little travelling companions.

They clearly like fast food.

The bunch of trainees we had in last week really didn't like spiders... "Miss, Miss, there's a spider, can you get rid of it?" - we were planning to prank them on their last day, I found a newspaper article about a false widow infestation in London, and someone else ordered some trick rubber spiders - we were going to leave the newspaper lying around and put the fake spiders in the corner of the room we were going to send them in to paint 
But alas the spiders didn't arrive in time

It's hair looks oddly neat - does it have a miniature hairbrush?
Saw this lovely thing in the Guardian today - an ant-mimicking crab spider.

Given he/she has very medically significant venom then I ain't leaning in with the brush.

I used to have a centipede. It was bought in by the shop especially for me and when I went to pick it up, its tub was plastered with 'warning' and 'do not touch' stickers.

That was probably only because it had social anxiety, so they're making sure it didn't get upset by clumsy humans.I used to have a centipede. It was bought in by the shop especially for me and when I went to pick it up, its tub was plastered with 'warning' and 'do not touch' stickers.

I'm feeling extremely silly that my "terror" and "cuteness" neurons are lighting up at the same time.

It's a very sweet looking spider - that can't be denied. It's got such a friendly face.I'm feeling extremely silly that my "terror" and "cuteness" neurons are lighting up at the same time.
I have ceiling spiders! Just a couple of teensy little ones but there were no spiders at all here last year (other than that lazy useless twat in the bathroom that never ate any silverfish) so I'm happy to see them.
Also found this MASSIVE fucker in the shed yesterday - couldn't get a better picture but that pot's about knee high for scale
