ππ·π NEWS – βIncy Wincy Spiderβ
Hey there, hope youβve all had a great week.
Well, love βem or hate βem, we have to deal with βem.Β Spiders!Β I either let them go on their merry way or, if they are HUUUUUGE, I trap them in a plastic cup and let them go on their merry way OUTSIDE of my house.Β I have to be careful as Iβm allergic to spider bites, so gently does it for me.
Best thing to do with something youβre not too sure about, or afraid of, is to find out as much as you can about them.Β Hereβs a start with a little video all about our eight-legged friends.
Check out the website at www.PricklyHedge.com/sidebar or our Facebook page www.Facebook.com/pricklyhedge on Wednesday for a video explaining why we shouldnβt be afraid of them.
Something else that people donβt like are dandelions, which is a real shame.Β They have been used as edible and medicinal plants for many hundreds of years, but even if you canβt stand the thought of eating dandelion greens in your salad, give a thought to the bees.Β Especially, the red-tailed bumblebee who is the laziest of the bees, they prefer to graze on one large flower, i.e. a dandelion, as opposed to flitting from flower to flower.Β Theyβre not really lazy, they are just super-efficient with their time and energy levels.
Hereβs an article from the Guardian highlighting their usefulness.
And to round off the week, we have #fridaycraftmorning making this adorable moving spider.Β You have to admit heβs rather cute.Β No???Β Aww poor spidey.
Come on though, you canβt help but LOVE Lucas! β€β€β€
Yay! New episodes, Iβve missed him.
