Well at least in the North we are less likely to see the False Widow spider which is very venomous (all spiders are venomous by the way, just not enough to harm us in most cases) and has made people very ill. 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 ....................
