    I’m in Wellington, but they’re apparently everywhere - just we tend not to notice them since they’re pretty small and like live under leaves and stuff

      I made the mistake of looking up whether these live in the UK too, to find there are 27 species of them here. And now my skin won’t stop crawling…😩

      (I know they are very small, harmless to humans, and mostly live outside, but arachnophobia doesn’t discriminate lol)

        If you think that’s scary, don’t look up how many species of spiders there are 😅

          But I already know that… This is a new thing I was hoping I could avoid thinking about because they didn’t exist locally, only they do, a lot
