The wifes with the soapy water brigade Mick, she tells me and I go and spray them. Lol. Excellent macro showing these little blighters, I have just been outside talking to next door when I noticed two lots of hatchling spiders, about eighty in each, side by side on the fence, I grabbed the camera and took a couple of shots, but the light was poor and they didn't come out good. First thing in the morning I will be out there. Bad news with the house then, they should have some of the new ones up by now surely? Can't you do a straight move into one of those? Or have they been earmarked for someone else? Hope it gets sorted sooner rather than later. Superb work with the aphids. Bravo!!!!!

Wow, I had no idea your housing situation, so sorry to hear that! I hope all works out well soon for you! Great macro of those nasty buggers Mick! We do the soap thing here or rely on the ladybugs.
