She has eaten him.

[TheLastTrainForTheCoast]

My rather splendid female spider has today eaten her mate.

I am a little sad, they have been sharing a web for the last couple of weeks, I was beginning to think they had a Understanding . But alas, today Mr spider is no more.

For reference they are not pets, rather squatters that inhabit my ceiling.

What are spiders rich in?

Must say, I was a little relieved when I opened thread 😰

As Rudyard Kipling once said, "the female of the species is more deadly than the male".

This is a lesson learnt for all annoying men.

I might eat my husband today.

Incey wincey spider
Was tired of putting out
Down came Lorraine
And kicked the bastard out
Out came the Mumsnet
And apportioned all the blame
When Incey Wincey spider was never seen again

🤣🤣🤣

His loss? 🤢😂

Does that mean the female spider now has a cocklodger?

I needed this thread today. Not sure I want to EatTB but it’s spot on otherwise.

Well they eat tarantulas in parts of the world. I’d be vegetarian. Vegan.

This thread is wonderful! ( even though I am irrationally afraid of spiders). I wish there were more fun threads like this on MN. Thank you for cheering my day OP 😀

This made me laugh out loud!

Crying!

Took me a a few seconds!!

Great thread!!

Brilliant 😂

I was in our loft office room building dh a chair and a massive house spider ran down the wall at me. Like actually went for me. When I told dh he said “oh yeh that’s Bruce, he is a dick but I love feeding him flies and watching him eat. He’s getting so big. He must have thought you an intruder.” 😅

It does make you wonder whether MNet is too lenient with the LTB advice.

That would be the end of my marriage. And probably my sanity. I would never set foot in there again.

She's a strong independent spider who dont need no man.

Good for her.

@Sethera "eat the bastard" will now be my mantra

I feel like my husband would be really tough and chewy to eat, no idea why. Kinda like ostrich meat.

Maybe gravy would help?

Mine as well do you think they freeze and we could have a nice bottle of chianti.

aw like Charlotte's Web. I loved that story.

Perhaps there are recipes? Have you checked the web?

Aw lads this thread really shook off a sad day yesterday so thank you @TheLastTrainForTheCoast .

I woke this morning laughing, having dreamt of Ms spider a la Beyonce singing "all the single spiders" . Sometimes this place is pure therapy.. Have a good day everyone.

I told her to LTB. I guess she thought this was preferable.

@Marblessolveeverything hope you have a good day too 🕷️💐💕

I love this thread :)
