Call me Daddy

I've seen a few spiders today, here on Flickr and in the real world, too. This beauty was high on the wall, doing nobody any harm, so I left her there, to await the arrival of her lunch.

 

Sometimes called the Daddy Long Legs spider, she is also known as a Cellar Spider. They take on all sorts of bugs and wotnot, and will even go for (and kill) a redback spider. "Oh, but they are only in Australia." Not so - they made it as for as Preston, Lancashire in a container of vehcle parts from Australia. Who knows how many escaped into the wild before the pest man came to get them? I'll be keeping my cellar spiders close!
