Giant spiders the size of rats making a comeback in UK
Up to 3,750 female fen raft spiders believed to be at 12 sites across the UK now
The UK’s largest breed of spiders, which can grow to the size of rats and hunts fish, are making a comeback in Britain.
From near-extinction in 2010 - when only a handful remained as their wetland homes were destroyed by humans - the number of fen raft spiders are now steadily increasing thanks to recent conservation efforts.
The spiders are set to have their best year on record at nature reserves ran by RSBP.

Great???? Anyone?? This is good right?
Spider meat burritos are about to get even more affordable in the UK, seriously I can't wait
....3 more spideritos please! And a side of legs! Fried!
This is good, I promise! Unless you're an arachnophobe who made their home literally in a fen I guess...
