I was painting some iron railings for a customer recently. It seemd like every few inches or so, I managed to inadvertantly coat a tiny little spider in a think gloopy blob of oil based Hammerite paint. These 'cute' little spiders were just going about their business, hiding in the little looped areas of the railing. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't clear them out. It was a terrible sight, watching the poor little things struggling to free themselves. Then to make things worse, a small swarm of Ladybirds decided to use the areas I'd painted, as a runway. It was pure carnage! I often travel to Dorset and I refuse to travel after dusk for fear of hitting a Badger. It's nothing to see a half dozen dead Badgers on a round trip - very sad!
