Guest Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 This is nothing to do with work, but when I was in my boyfriends house last night, I lifted down a pot from the top of the cupboards which i hadnt used in a while, and inside was lots of tiny white spiders - so small you could barely see them move. Phoned my mum and she thought they were maggots, but arent maggots like tiny white caterpillars? Then the next day I was lying in bed in my own house and crawling on top of the duvet was a tiny little white thing with a tiny brown head that did look like a tiny caterpillar. Does anyone know what these things are and what I should do? Ive never seen them before. Looked on the internet but didnt get anywhere. Boyfriends kitchen is a little messy and damp, but I know my pot was clean when I put it up there. Thanks, Goldilocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Eight legs - spider or mite Long wriggly body - larva of an insect (maggot, caterpillar etc) Don't panic! Just remove the little blighters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 It sounds to me as if they are baby spiders and one has just hitched a lift home with you. Put the pot outside in the garden if you don't like them the birds will soon sort them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
