beach chick Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I've heard that it is a really good year for spiders; and if my garden/house is anything to go by its true! (WHY do they have to build webs where I will walk through them?? such a waste of their efforts, but they particularly seem to like the path by the house which I HAVE to walk down to get in the garden; and then the bit on the way into the WIR which again I cant avoid - such a waste of all their hard work). it also seems to be a particularly good year for slugs - we have HUNDREDS every morning. spiders I quite like; but slugs?

chuckmum6 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 We have had lots and lots of ladybirds, had a horrid walk through a plague of them when I was visiting the n Yorkshire coast yuk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyChickenLover- Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 We have TONS of ladybirds and slugs here. There's also a lot of scorpion things... I have no idea what they're called, they're black and orange. EDIT: Just found out that the orange scorpions are ladybird lava. That makes sense. You learn something new every day.

craftyhunnypie Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Loads of spiders here in the country - funny longy leggy things, a bit like daddy long legs. I don't have a problem with those sort. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 i have a problem with all spiders and slugs i love ladybirds though and have to 'save' them if they are on the path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Masses and masses of spiders here. I went into the garden after dark last night and there were loads in their webs on the fence. They all have two little dimples on their backs. I was totally fascinated! Haven't seen too many slugs, though the hedgehog I've seen seems a hefty fella so maybe he's polishing them off for us!
