Spiders.

Fried tarantulas are a delicacy in Cambodia, yummy, NOT. Don't much like the little critters, but hate killing them even more, and the ones we get in the van are tiny compared to the monsters we get at home, even the cat used to be scared of them.:giggle:

I have to say that as bugs go, spiders are the best, like ladybirds they are useful at getting rid of the real pests. They are going to be more scared of you than you are of them - the worst they can do to you is tickle if they run over your hand, but you could squish them flat in an instant. Not really an equal contest is it?

Actually, there are several British Spiders that can give a nasty bite and make you quite ill. However, you are right, in the great scheme of things, not much of a contest!

I think that is only true if you are allergic to them. Whats the chances of being bitten by a spider that you are allergic to in this country. Lot more chance of being run over by a motorhome:)

Tell her not to stand in front of many motorhomes:)

Most bites are a bit sore for a day or two and not as bad as a wasp sting.

Had a Black Widow drop down inside my shirt once while working in Belize. Scared the Poo out of me but no problem.

Why did the spider cross the road?

There was no spider. There was no road. the spider is a metaphorical manifestation of your pathological and subconcious fear. Fear of what you may ask? The chicken!
 
I saw a man with a trolley full of horseshoes and rabbits' feet earlier, trying to get it up a hill.
I thought, he's pushing his luck
No matter how much I try and buy supermarket conveyor belt dividers, the cashier keeps on putting them back
