Thanks a lot for your comment!

Yes, I think you are right! The pic in the first link of the Sowbug Killer spider looks exactly like my spider. Interesting that it attacks its prey rather than waits for it in its web.

I once took up a floorboard and saw two black spiders sitting under it. I thought they were parent and baby, but then the big one “stood up” over the little one, and then plunged its fangs into the little one, very much like the description of the Sowbug Killer spider’s habits.

I was horrified that such carnage had happened in my house, but later I wished I’d videoed it!

I hope I’m right!

BTW, it’s Professor Moriarty.

This seems like an innocent enough comment, right?

Only I’ve had identical comments from the same site to my other blogs – totally unrelated to his blog. So I’m guessing he’s using some tool to scrape blogs from all over the net and send out these comments purely for backlinks, but I doubt any of the sites that fall for it will be getting the promised link.

Well at least he had the sense to use an intelligent question. Wonder what he says when I ask where my link is? I just went to his site again and after reading HIS comments, loads of people have fallen for it!
