Everyone's talking about a stowaway huntsman turning up in the UK, which is a great opportunity to talk spiders across BBC radio today, mostly sympathising with the poor spider unexpectedly braving our UK winter! #LoveSpiders
Catch my chat on the stowaway huntsman and other spidery things here (time 25:00) or I'll be speaking to lots of local stations today so might be coming to some airwaves near you! bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0014q1…

Finally handed in the Thesis a huge thank you to @ArachNotts @UniofNottingham @UoNLifeSci @nottm_bbsrc_dtp @PenderynWhisky @TheJohnsonArms
We've been rather quiet here as all our PhD students finish up their projects in *ahem* interesting times but can finally say we're getting there!
Excellent start to #Arachtober - I've officially submitted my thesis and can be a free-range arachnologist again, not hunched over a computer all day! Will miss my tiny thieving Dewdrop spider friends though...
