It's the moisture I reckon, got a lot of crickets in the grass atm and I think it's because they don't have to hide during the day to avoid dehydration.
Fewer spiders but, last year was trapdoor and wolf open season. This year I'm only seeing black house and my loyal banded huntsman colony.
Oh everywhere I look I keep finding tiny white specks that are little baby spiders dangling down. I keep moving them closer to outside as I doubt there’s much to eat indoors.
Oh and saw this poor one recently, he’s been in the war’s for sure.
Looks like they might have some molts left so maybe they'll heal. I'm in the blue mountains, idk why not many spiders this year. Normally they're everywhere. Not too many wasps actually but quite a few of the spider hunting ones, so maybe that's the lack. I've seen those wasps take on trapdoors and win!
I've been deboomering this lot of land and it's been rewarding seeing life return as all the poisoned crap and ecologically unsuitable plants are replaced.
