how much more interesting are these spiders than snails! Has anyone any experiance of keeping them in captivity? Maybe just for a year or so to observe behaviour? |

Hi,
Ive never seen one of those up here in Northumberland, does anyone know if they get this far up north ?
The most interesting ones I ever see are these Garden spiders:  |

Not yet, the've only been in the London area for the last 5 years, but like many invertebrates at moment they are steadily moving north. |

My son spotted one this morning on side of the road, we,ve never seen one before. we live on the Essex Suffolk border between Colchester and Ipswich. does anyone know how far north they have got to date? the only info I have in our spider book is that they are only found in south England. | | | |
