“Undesirables” hanging about the streets of Folkestone

Posted by: prince vince In: Nature Watch

viaductFollowing on from our recent bee piece, you may have noticed, as you walk around town, that there are a lot of spiders hanging about the streets of Folkestone at the moment. Early Autumn seems to be peak time to see these arachnid silk-spinning engineers, in all their glory, and apparently, there are more spiders and crane flies than usual, this year, due to ideal breeding conditions last year.

I took the following footage on a single stroll round Folkestone on Tuesday.

The following video is not for arachnophobes perhaps, although it could provide some un-regulated aversion therapy! We say,’enjoy the wildlife!’

Music is ‘Vent’, by Tricky.
