It’s likely that anybody who fears spiders has dreams about enormous ones escaping and occupying the whole nation.
That does seem like a nightmare, but to be honest, I’m not even afraid of the things. And it seems that it almost happened, but maybe not as vividly as some of the pictures our minds create.
This is because a zoo released hundreds of enormous spiders “the size of a human hand” that are now crawling all across the United Kingdom.
Before being released, the “unique species” were hand-fed small flies with tweezers and carefully raised in separate test tubes (to prevent them from eating one another).
After almost becoming extinct, hundreds of fen raft spiders were released by the well-known Chester Zoo ten years ago.
