A horrifying spider has been found chowing down on bats in the UK.
The eight-legged venomous menace known as the noble false widow was found sucking the guts out of a baby bat.
Over a mortifying two days, bats living in Ben’s attic were found entangled in the spider’s web below the entrance to their roost.
A second, much larger adult bat, was also captured and trapped in the web but it was still alive.
Fortunately, the lucky bat was rescued and released.

Dang,
My Doc cuts on those purple lines and tries to stitch back to closure.
I’ve had 3 Nanzi face lifts, as it turns out.
My blood pressure goes way up in their pre-op; why?
Go out at night with a flashlight and a flyswatter.
Hunt those things and swat. They are sitting and waiting on their webs.
Similar to the brown recluse only worse. That is one frightening wound.
I saw a Tarantula in the yard, one fall. Cool - you have the run of the place.
A few days later I wondered why I hadn’t seen it and checked the Black Widow web in a shed.
There it was, bound up in the Black Widow web.
Sounds like a good method. I think every inch of my yard has ants. I put spectracide on the mound then pour cold water until the mound flattens out, and that does destroy that location, but then they pop up nearby somewhere. Next time I will try boiling water LOL
A friend has a “bug zapper” in his yard. He pulled the collection tray out so the critters just fall to the ground. On a good night he’ll have over a dozen Tarantulas gathered, waiting for the BBQ.
My method:
1) buy can of Bengal
2) add red straw extender
3) put red straw into ant bed and spray until smoke comes out of ant bed
Bye bye ants
BURN THE HOUSE!!!
You want to hear about incident from 70 years ago which still gives me nightmares? My parents house in India had a water tank with an electric pump to fill the 3rd floor tank. The pump was old and the foot valve leaked so at age 12 or so I would climb up into that dark pump room, sit on a shallow wooden seat and fill the suction pipe with water and then the pump would start pumping water to the 3rd floor tank. One day while doing my daily chore, corner of my eye caught a movement and I figured it was a cockroach or something. I stood up and saw it was a black scorpion! I dived out of there and called our house boy servant. He killed the scorpion with a stick, and the baby scorpions on mama scorpion’s back.
Soon all the people from house gathered to see the dead scorpion. Our cook lady said to me, you were so lucky it did not sting you, because a scorpion that size would cause horrible pain and could even be fatal. So here I was sitting on a shallow wooden seat for several minutes, and the mama scorpion was parked right under me!
“Forget Black Widows, the brown recluse will seriously screw your day. Lucky for us, we have both in North Carolina, everywhere.”
They’re everywhere in Tennessee. I used to be a plumber and had to crawl under houses with no basement. That was before I learned about the Brown Recluse.
What is “Bengal”?
Thank you. I will have to try it.
Insect spray.
Best thing to come out of Louisiana since Joe Burrow
