If you're not familiar with the Canadian Wood Spider - as I wasn't - you might want to view this informative video about it, and some interesting experiments it has been used in. You'll need to hear the commentary to appreciate it.

Still, that spider looks awfully familiar...

Pretty darned funny, initially I thought it was a real clip on Canadian spiders. Now I see that the spiders in Canada are just like the one's in the States.

Dear Ranger had 22 tegenaria duellica last year apart from the ones the cat killed.Have lots of gaps filled this year but last night an enormous really black one was in the cat litter box so I caught it in a glass and put it out.These spiders give me the horrors and I can't figure out where this one came from so early. Would this have been in all winter or could it have squeezed in a tiny gap in cat flap? It's annoying me that there was one so early in the year and I don't know wher it came from..

The Ranger's Blog

The thoughts and writings of The Virtual Ranger, since 1995 the host and mascot of Naturenet, the UK's most popular independent environmental website; along with interjections from his real-life alter ego, Matthew Chatfield, and others. Featuring not only Naturenet and countryside related stuff, but, as on Naturenet, plenty of other material - more or less at random - that takes The Ranger's fancy. But you can be confident that soon enough he'll be rather sarcastic.
