Removals

The spider noticed at reference 1 has been entertaining us for a fortnight now, during which time he has made up and consumed at least three parcels of prey.

But today was the day of the window cleaner, so the spider had to be moved yesterday and I thought that the wisteria, just beyond the extension doors would be the place. So I collected him up and deposited him on the wisteria, where he hung underneath a leaf for a bit. Then he climbed on top of the leaf and sat there for a bit longer. Then he vanished. Then, a bit later he moved into action, working on a new web. And by this morning he has a new friend, that is to say another spider of roughly the same size and appearance building a web next door. Not visible in this snap.
