Venomous spiders found under Winsor Castle

I've been board shitless here at work, and rather than actually do some work ive been reading about spiders that bite and which are poisenous in the UK etc.......

Anyway I stumbled upon this on another forum some guy seem this report and wrote the following:-

It is no secret that i have a fear of spiders as a few of you know, but i have recently seen a report that a rare species of venomous spiders has been found nesting under windsor castle.

A leading entomologist believes they may be a new species or a type of spider previously thought to have been extinct for thousands of years.

BT engineers uncovered the spiders when they were laying underground cables at Windsor Great Park in Berkshire. The discovery of the rusty red and black spiders, with leg-spans of up to 9cm, is being described as "extremely exciting". (I my self would not call this exciting lol).

Graham Smith, a member of Project-ARK conservation team which aims to preserve endangered species, warned that the spiders could attack. "The species is certainly venomous and the jaws are strong enough to penetrate the human skin." There are about 50,000 species of spider worldwide, only some of which are known to be poisonous.

there Could be thousands' (gulp)

Until now none of these were thought to be found in the UK. Experts cannot tell how long the spiders had been in the Royal Park as they live underground. Mr Smith said: "There could be thousands and thousands of them. "It would be no surprise if they are living underneath Windsor Castle itself."

The spiders could not be repelled by conventional means as attempts to fumigate the species would run the risk of spreading them further afield. It may even be illegal if they are found to be an endangered species.

Work stopped

A BT spokesman said: "Our engineers were not attacked, but we have stopped work at the site until we know exactly what they are."
Entomologists are examining samples of the spiders in an attempt to identify them.

The team of experts from Project-ARK will spend time studying the behaviour of the spiders using electronic cameras.

Me again lol, I reckon it would be kool if we had the odd venomous spider in the uk anyway its not like they attack you and you can always cover them with a glass.

Duno mate but heres a list of all UK spiders 90% of which are venomous its just that there teeth arnt big enough to break through human skin and the ones that are " Wolf Spider" are non venomous so were lucky as fuck really lol

anyway heres your UK spiders and there names

yes i am bored but ive been doing some research on spiders and there really interesting, I thought it was ony the black widow that eat the male after reproducing but its not, something like 75% of spiders eat the fella after shagging him.

I dont really mind spiders but I hate earwigs lol

Also cause ive been bitten by a wolf spider when I was younger I wont pick up the larger spiders cause it feckin hurts, but I will pick them up with some paper or in a cup cause im not actualy scared of them

lol thats a myth fella, spiders wont crawl in your mouth cause they can sence your breathing, there quite clever creatures for there brin size.

They like cool damp places the mouth is warm and damp.

They are well afraid of humans and know what we look like so they wont come anywhere near us

been reading all about it today lol
