A bug’s life

LIKE the reader who has red admiral butterflies hibernating in her bathroom (Letters), I share my home with bugs.

Each night, a spider spins the most beautiful web that glistens in the winter light in my kitchen window. There is no way I would sweep it away with a duster.

When spring finally arrives, the spider will be deposited in the garden where it belongs. SALLY DOUGLAS,
