I asked: "Which of the spiders below isn't a UK native?"
It was ages ago. Few answers came in, but all were wrong! I kind of wanted to have that result! Once again giving spiders a [ninth] leg to stand on, my mini-poll proved we fear things that are slightly different or provocative.
The plain-looking [A] picture is a white-tail spider. A fearsome foe to those down under. Not particularly dangerous, but capable of a bite you'd know about. Can pack a punch and capable of a bugger of a bite! This was the correct answer.
The interestingly fearsome [B] picture is of a woodlouse spider. Common in the UK.
The gorgeous [C] is a Ladybird Spider. Admittedly, they ARE a bit hard to come by, but are found in the UK and are totally harmless!
The results were....
A: 0 %
B: 66 %
C: 16 %
None: 16%
All credit to blogger for a percentage that doesn't add up!
