This morning as we were having breakfast, Tigger spotted a familiar figure in a corner of the ceiling: Ari has reappeared!
Ari reappears
It’s almost two weeks since Ari (short for Ariadne or, alternatively ‘Arry – we don’t know his/her gender) was last seen. We began to think she had moved on but, no, here she is, in her characteristic “Pilates” pose.
Knowing that the flash disturbs her, we took one of our “cooperative photos”: I illuminated the scene with my iPhone’s flashlight function while Tigger took the photo. Ari seems to accept the flashlight but even so, we use it sparingly.
As this is my sixth post about Ari, I have collected all of the posts together in a compendium version, and will add any future Ari posts to it. Here is the link: Ari, the Spider.
Later…
Ari relaxes
Pilates finished, Ari relaxes. How long will she stay with us this time?

Have you considered participating in the Natural History Museum’s ‘identify your spider’ programme? (If the link survives: https://www.nhm.ac.uk/take-part/identify-nature/spiders-in-your-home/house-spider.html) –Peter

No, we haven’t done that but someone knowledgeable told us that she is a “Common House Spider”. Not that we think there is anything common about our Ari, of course!
