On Friday evening I spotted a spider in the bathroom.
On closer inspection I realised it was a spitting spider. These are described as uncommon and this was only my second ever one, the first having been found in my house also.
They are called spitting spiders because they catch their prey by spraying it with silk and venom which stick it to the surface it is on, allowing the spider to approach its already immobilised prey.
Rather awesome little creatures!
