Exotic False Black widow spiders (not the one illustrated) have apparently closed 4 Schools in East London. The spiders (presumably imported on bananas) are not actually as poisonous as the actual Black widow but can still deliver a nasty nip (as well as being somewhat frightening for pupils and teachers). The schools will re-open once these alien invaders have been eliminated.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
