So, this 1-inch/3-centimetre long spider was sitting on my kitchen
wall - probably trying to get out of the rain. It's not deadly, with a
bite that can cause mild local pain, redness and swelling. I've also
seen it called a 'bug-mimicking swift spider', 'wasp-mimicking spider',
and 'tribal mask spider'.
Most of you know me as the C.M. Simpson that writes - well, some of you know me as the C.M. Simpson that writes - and some of you have never heard of me at all.For those of you who don't care about my writing, but do like seeing what I'm doing with pictures, this blog will feature photographs of birds, insects, arachnids, flowers, as well as locations I find myself visiting and book covers I design. Oh, and there will be art - of a kind.
