You can expect to see a lot more spiders this autumn because the summer weather has been perfect for breeding conditions.

There are also going to be a lot more crane flies around as the larvae have had plenty of rotting matter to eat.

Matt Shardlow, from the insect charity Buglife, said: “The last few years have been very bad for British biodiversity, with low numbers of moths, spiders and crane flies. Spiders are predators and if it wasn’t for spiders, we would be overrun with flies and other pests which make life unbearable,”.
