You old softie ;).

Say, this doesn't have anything to do with the wasp in your avatar, dose it?

the wasp in my avatar would have made short work of the spider. Common and German wasps go beserk when threatened with silk - i've watched them dive bomb webs until they are completely destroyed whilst the spider cowers under cover.

I bet that's pretty cool to see!
