well here is what the ias at the The Natural History Museum
sent back to me.

Dear Mr Ralph,



Thank you for the photos. Spider 1 is a False Widow Spider (Steatoda nobilis). Please read more about this spider here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steatoda_nobilis



For the Steatoda nobilis bite, please read this page:

http://www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/l...lse-widow.html



Spider 2 is a Walnut Orb-Weaver Spider (Nuctenea umbratica). Its bite is described on our web site:

http://www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/l...ve-spider.html



I hope you will find this information useful. Please send us more photos of interesting or unusual animals you may find in the UK.



Yours truly,



Florin Feneru

mate you should have seen me for the last two nights, i have been out in the garden its been Man V earwig.
i would say i have killed over 3000 .......and still they come, i can not find the nest, as they only have been coming out at night.

tonight i have run out of pesticides, i have used 5 liters of it as it takes two shots per earwig to kill it lol.

tonight i might turn to the elastic band lol

I had a wasps nest at the top of the house in the wall by the bedroom you could hear the b@stards when you went in the room 100's of them, made my skin crawl.  Tried to get Rentokill out they wanted to leave the nest as they are protected or pay them 170 euro, feck that so the arl fella next door put one put a bee suits on and spayed the nest then blocked it up they attacked the poor arl fella when he was up on the ladder  :laugh:
