Don’t worry, I actually prefer tiramisu. Us poor spiders get a bad rap with some people going into hysterics when they spot one. Calm down Fergal, I’m more scared of you than you are of me. But we spiders are actually amazing creatures, when we’re not being washed down the sink, obliterated with a shoe or smashed with a phone book. Not convinced? Come closer, I won’t bite. Well, I might!
This furry black spider has eight poseable legs, a smooth abdomen and thorax on the underside and two metallic red beads for eyes. So strokable you’ll think it’s a kitten! Well, maybe not… Pose it as if ready to attack with the front two legs up in the air and place high up on a shelf, above a kitchen cupboard, or on top of a bathroom cabinet - anywhere it might not be immediately noticeable – then wait for the scream!
