SPOOKY SPIDER SPINNINGS DOWN BY THE OLD CANAL

Newry canal and bus station

One of the students said that his cousin had been bitten by a poisonous spider in Dublin. He showed me the graphic images where the spider had literally taken a bite out of his cousin's wrist. Early one morning at the bus station I came across these spooky spider spinnings on the railings next to the bus station.
I showed my colleagues on the course at break time and I was told that there are poisonous spiders in Newry canal living under the bridges. Apparently they have arrived here on the boats from the nearby port of Warrenpoint. Yikes! I hope I never meet one myself but they do produce some amazing shapes, especially with the morning dew still hanging on them.
