I was interested in the article in Saturday’s Daily Telegraph about the prolonged peak in house-spider activity this year. Perhaps this is due to the whole year being beneficial to these spiders, rather than just the autumn? During the whole of this year, we have had a greatly increased number of spiders’ webs strung across everywhere in our garden. I have assumed this has meant a greater number of spiders – many of the webs have been housing them at the centres. Perhaps this explains the greater number in the house?
