In the begining...

Well, as I've had this blog for a while now I thought I'd finally use it for something. And that something is ramblings, and putting pretty pictures I've taken up too. And what a good day to begin with eh (note date)!

So, to start with I'm going to add a spider I found in my house last week. It's probably the first record for Bedfordshire....maybe....

This baby is Theridion familiare - thanks to Ian Dawson for the id. Apparently quire a rare spider. However coincidentally Col Campbell (a work collegue of mine) also found one in his house near Cambridge just a few days later, so maybe not that rare?
