    British spiders - white?

    I just brought my washing in and had this completely white spider crawling on one of my socks. I've never seen white spiders in England before. It was about the size of a £2 coin. All of our animals / insects are normally boring black. Anyone know anything about spiders in England?

    most def...

    i adore spiders, will rescue them for anyone..

    i even ate the leg of a deep fried one for the crack...in cambodia not here i might add before people think i'm gathering little house spiders & wacking them in the chip pan.. :lol

    the only time i've ever taken a wide berth of one was in Japan...this fucker was a monster & scuttled along like a crab...even the locals walked around it instead of stepping over it :eek: :eek:

    You adore them, but you eat them?

    That's like Jess boiling her dogs, then having them on toast :lol:
