That "kracken" has the same body shape as a black widow spider, and they BITE!!!
I don't know if my wasps have evolved to be not as lethal or if I've developed an immunity. I received another wasp sting today and it was only mildly burning for about ten minutes then nothing. Now it's a bit itchy. This nest was on the underside of the 2x4 across the bottom of the gate from the backyard. I had opened the gate to allow visitors (two really cute little girls 4 and 6, and their grandparents to go through and I was standing there waiting to close the gate when I heard the tell tale buzzing near my ear. I was so engrossed in waving my hand by my ear that I didn't realize there was one getting me on my other side.
Thursday when I went shopping I bought four cans of wasp killer spray. I was able to treat eight nests, but I missed the one on the gate. After I spray them I knock them down and step on them to squish the larvae.
Happy torts = Happy tort mom !Happy dinosaurs for you!!!
Oh my gosh ! This is no cat. It`s a ghost cat ! ...and it will burn and melt in hot sun...
No, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't with our climateYes, but they don’t “aestivatel ‘cause of one or two or three “hot” days. I’m sure torts that grow up in hot dry arid regions will do that, BUT a hot day here n there is probably comforting n cozy.

I think it might be a false widow spider Yvonne, they are not dangerous. I haven’t seen one for years!That "kracken" has the same body shape as a black widow spider, and they BITE!!!

Not bad but the entry is too wide open. Toads like things they can hide under with small ways in. Your toad house is too wide open for toad predators....Well...I came up with this for my little toad home. I'll do the can mess too just for gp. It's a little scrubby holder for human dishes so it better be safe.View attachment 275594
Some species of them live in UK anyway so don't panic!!Oh dear... apparently there has been a wave of false widow spiders shipped from abroad along with other cargo
