Global warming has affected the climatic conditions of Britain, making it a warmer place now. This weather change has encouraged many species of bugs and arachnids to make Britain their home. Among these is the extremely poisonous Black Widow spider that has traveled all the way from America to settle in the UK to make their way through food and plant imports.

Insects like the Asian Harlequin are already endangering the native species of Britain. In the past few years people have been sighting the black widow in bananas and other fruits, however it has been clarified that it is not the deadly Black Widowm but a less harmful cousin of this species.

The species that had originated from southern Europe has built large colonies in Plymouth and Devon and is expected to spread in greater numbers across other parts of southern Europe.

According to Stuart Hine of the Insect Identification Service at the Natural History Museum in London, a cold spell could wipe out the fast spreading species. But he also declared that if the weather continued to remain warm then other species would also make their way through and the black widow would be no exception.

However a new technique is under way to deal with this pest mania which is causing serious damage to Britain’s vegetation. - via DailyMail

Boy oh boy, nature either changes or we never knew such things can happen. Here is a fishing spider from Africa that lurks near water and feeds on fish or in this particular case, with a live frog.

Could that be the way nature responds and is it possible for these spiders to invade cities in the next centuries for a ride on our arms? It’s probably just a freaky-looking arachnid with different taste than a common spider, but that still motivates me to be greener.
