In general I don't have a problem with spiders (got one living in my bathroom at the moment) but this is frightening
Deadly black widow spiders found in Barton-upon-Humber
Four black widow spiders were found by workers in North Lincolnshire after hitching a ride in a consignment of jet engines from the US.
I'm really not a fan of species migration via modern traffic
Migration is not bad and it's in natures nature to "find a way", to quote a certain fictonal chaos theorist, but that are four spiders ... they could breed and spread and ... and hitch a ride back to the US because of the bad weather and the even worse food ;-)
and btw I was in Cleethorpes for student exchange back in school LOL
