I collect spiders, apart from the dangerous kind. I tell you, when you have several of them in container, they don't half make some noise. I had to move them out of my bedroom some moonths ago due to not being able to get to sleep at night because of the scratching sounds.

this spider. I know I will violently shake the jar so it confuses the spider!
How would you like it, if someone put you in a huge glass jar and shook it violently?

the jam jar up a little bit of water, probably only quarter of the way full.
Within two days, it died from drowning.
And what did this harmless creature ever do to deserve such a slow and torturous demise?

You shouldn't have (not shouldn't of) drowned it!

eight spiders will enter into your mouth whilst your asleep...per year!
Most statistics are made up on the spot . . .
