Pictured here crawling along my shorts. Apparently they'll attach themselves to flys and other flying insects to grab a ride off to other places.

That's cool, never seen one of those. What part of the country are you in?
13 0 ReplyI'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
7 0 ReplyI 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)
