Season's meetings

It's that time of year when one string leads to another and we see/hear the patter of tiny feet, in their (spiders')  hope that, come January, the eight-legged amongst us will do and celebrate the same.

September is spider month. Always has been, always will be. Tegenaria duellica will be roaming your living room. Orb weavers will be spinning gorgeous webs in your garden. 
Many folk will be screaming, squishing and panicking. Yawn!
Britain's most noticeable spiders breed in September and October. 

Rich pickings for spider lovers this year it seems. (Hate to blow my own trumpet, but I do, ahem, believe I predicted this in an earlier post on this very site).
