The blue mystery spider of Batley (photo courtesy of Mary Howard)
Hot on the many heels of the shrieking centipede and the ant-mimicking tiger beetle documented in the previous ShukerNature comes yet another anomalous arthropod. This time? It's a bright-blue, seven-legged spider!
The original info was forwarded to me by Fortean Times, for whom I am preparing a full account of this remarkable case, and I have since been in contact with the eyewitnesses themselves, but here are the principal facts - and the all-important photograph
ShukerNature: SPIDER OF BLUE, DILLY DILLY...

Doesn't really look painted to me, maybe it accidentally got dyed blue, or maybe it's just an anomaly.
