You only get two legs per chicken. Spiders are far better value, and you can get them on the web. ;)

buy a net to catch them in, you can dip them straight into the deep fat fryer, they make a great screaming sound very similar to a Lobster ;)

These came in goods from the Canary Islands and are slowly moving North. (Has been the odd case like one in Cumbria but that probably arrived in Furniture someone moving there from the South)

Strange we have not seen any as we have climbing dense roses on the walls and winter Clematis so many webs.

Me? Arachnophobia? What with a house coverd in them ---arrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes!

Snakes fine, but spiders ....................
