Re: Spiders prefer wealthy suburbs
But Claude is not in the city areas where the spiders are larger. The area studied is higher density low rise- so not many of those tree thingies. Where Claude lives there's not too many bright lights to attract the insects eaten by spiders.
Those aren't poisonous. There's not many of those.

No spiders here at the moment, too wet and cold, and, a hungry residential gecko which looks quite healthy.
Cheers, Claude.

That's why I said "city fringes"...that's where the spiders don't get the radio active bugs and don't become homogeneously large and follow their web slinging leader.GeoffW wrote:But Claude is not in the city areas where the spiders are larger...

I was shocked and saddened to observe that the article did not have at its end the compulsory sentence which must finish all research papers, that:
More research is needed...
