Seriously the Invucta guys and gals are a great club and well worth a visit. A good crowd and very friendly

See you , hopefully

Hi Ray,

Sorry to say way too far for me to travel but Good Luck and I hope that it is well attended.

So how was it? I know a few that were going

[Peter Lacey]

It was an interesting talk on a difficult subject - how and why we have spider names. Ray used examples of spiders to show how their scientific names depicted them. Of course the most interesting bit was his Top 10 countdown of British spiders and the obligatory "we found large aggressive tree spiders ner ner ner ner ner!"
Lots of humour during the evening, as always and plenty of chatting. Ray and I both seemed to come equipped with Steatoda sp.
Looking forward to the next one already.

[Ray Hale]

Always a pleasure Peter, no singing though. Very disappointing.LOL

( and we DID find large aggressive tree spiders.....so there.....)

Great to see you again mate.

I will have to ask my mother why I was named Grammastola sp. "Richard Thomas" on my birth certificate and there was me thinking I was unique lol

[John chambers]

I agree it was a great talk and we know what Ray likes to watch lol.
Not found any spiders mating yet lol.

No probs Ray it was good to learn about the name side and maybe one day I'll learn how to say the white collard name in Greek/lating as the last part seems like german!.
And from one t to four lol not bad for an ex-arachnophobic and going in to 50/50 mating loan..

Best Wishes.
John in the tiger jacket lol

Its a bit too far and pointless for me seeing as I cant afford to waste my money on pointless things these days.I have no job anymore so I might have eat all my spiders if I can't buy food for my kids to eat.

[Neill House]

Or you could sell them on to a responsible dealer, knowing that you can start again when the times are better?
