thanks a lot everyone, Hank yeah D Bow's do strange things to you. Have you got one?..if not you should get one,lol!

 Laurie - sounds like you're not scared of them?..I was cringing while reading about them hanging round near the computer!!!....mmm I expect they can feel the vibrations...I'm wondering how it reacted,lol!

  We have a bird table outside the room I often play in and birds sometimes stop and put their head on one side as if they're listening..especially with the D. Bow!!

They live near the air conditioner (fresh air), and computer (warmth)  (and one actually did respond to the diddly bow!) --I get the feeling they actually listen!!...,,,the spider nursery.....sounds terrible, ..i leave them until i cannot stand it anymore....!!!try to sweep them and relocate a few outdoors.... this was a bunch of babies...now there are three....survival of the fittest!!! ....the webs catch the baddies, like dive bombing beetles and mosquitos....the daddy longlegs are my allies....!
