Seems to be a bumper year for spiders this year...and some are absolute beauties...

Meet Terrence (The tarantula  ;D) who lives outside our backdoor







And on the run for his dinner...


And some of his younger siblings....

I trap them with a glass, then slide a piece of card underneath them before releasing them outside. Mrs Opti runs and hides like a little girl....... ;D ;D
