It is estimated that there are some 10 quintillion insects

alive at any one time.

But forget about them. This is about ME - Lloyd!

I'm a fly!

Oof!

Would you rather sniff the armpits of a weightlifting spider

or a centipede who's been for a jog?

Centipede, obviously.

But a centipede has 100 stinky pits.

Technically, between 30 and 350, depending on species.

A spider only has eight.

But a spider would devour me before I smelt a single one.

What?! Spiders don't eat flies.

Don't be daft. Of course they do.

Spiders are fly-eating monsters, PB.

What?! No! You're just a scaredy-bug.

Wh... No, I'm the right amount of scared. YOU'RE not scared ENOUGH.

I have to fix this.

Come on. I'm going to show you the true nature of spiders.

Yes!

Help! Help! I am trapped in a web.

Why is Abacus being the fly when you ARE a fly.

She's right. I don't feel very convincing.

Well, he can't be the scary spider. That requires my vivid portrayal.

But, fine, if it helps with the realism, you can be the fly.

But no messing about. This is not a game.

Ah!

Who should I play?

Ooh! Ooh, ooh! You can be the remains of my last victim.

Agh!

Oh, no. I am in a web.

I'm gonna bite your head off and tear you limb from limb

and chew your innards!

Sorry. Right. Serious.

What's your favourite colour?

If you're not going to take this seriously, PB, then I will.

Abacus.

Abacus?

Agh!

Sorry, Lloyd. Lost in the part.

What is it? I need you to call in a favour.

I took a big risk getting this,

so, don't tell no-one you got it from me.

OK? We're even now. I don't owe you. You don't owe me.

Give Mum my love. See you next week.

Thanks, Anode.

That's Anode.

I didn't want to have to show you this, PB,

but it's for your own good.

You need to see what happens when you mess with a spider.

I hope you have a strong stomach.

Yes! Yes! Let me see! Let me see!

Eugh! Ugh! Eugh! Ugh! Eugh! Ugh!

Eugh! Ugh!

Eugh! Don't touch the corpse!

This is a fake fly.

And not a very good one.

Yeah, well, if I'd known you were going to go touching it,

I'd have spent more time on the detail.

The eyes are quite good.

Thank you, Abacus. I thought so too.

Well, spiders obviously don't eat flies if you have to fake it.

Well, I wasn't going to show you an actual dead body, PB.

How irresponsible do you think I am?

Right, there's only one thing for it.

If you were to learn the true danger of spiders,

I'm going to have to introduce you to a real one.

A real, live spider's web!

REALLY real this time?

REALLY real.

The lair of a killer.

The final...

Get back here! I can hardly see it from here!

It's too dangerous!

To touch a web means death,

a one-way trip to a spider's stomach.

Abacus, show her.

What?

Run over and shake the web.

The spider will think they've caught a fly and come out to attack.

Um...

You'll be fine. Spiders don't need wood lice.

I don't think.

We ARE very chewy.

Agh!

I don't see anything.

Did you even touch it? Spider!

A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-gh!

Sorry. False alarm.

Oh, no, Abacus!

Oh, he'll be fine. He's fallen from that high before.

This isn't working.

We need somewhere we can lure a spider,

a trap from which there is no escape.

If it didn't convince ME, Lloyd,

I'm not sure how it will convince a spider.

No, no, no. Wrong, wrong. Doesn't matter.

Once the spider's close enough to see Floyd's a fake, it'll be too late.

Floyd?

Fake Lloyd.

The trap is set. Now we settle down and wait.

You're in terrible danger, little fly!

I'm coming, little fly.

An actual, really real spider!

Have you ever seen anything so utterly terrifying?

Don't be afraid, little fly.

Ohh!

Oh, oh, look at that! Straight in for the kill!

Agh!

Did you see that?! Bit Floyd's head clean off!

See, PB? Spiders are...

Where's PB?

She's with the spider.

What? She's with the spider?!

Is it eating her?! Oh, I can't look.

I think...

...they're chatting.

When did you web come up? Ooh, how sharp are your fangs?

How many legs do you have?

How long does it take you to wash them? Are you gonna eat me?

Why, aren't you curious?

If you come a bit closer, I can show you.

Oh! Typical spider playing with its food! I have to do something!

Um... OK.

My big brother made that. You have a big brother?

How big? That big.

He made it to look like himself.

Ohh...

Impressive.

I'm not sure this is a good idea. This is a great idea, Abacus.

Just slide down, grab PB,

make a banked turn around the plug, slide back, then we escape.

Simple. Ready?

Nope.

OK!

Agh!

That's Abacus - Lloyd's best and only friend.

Abacus!

Oh! No! Now I've got to rescue him too!

Don't you dare eat my sister!

She wasn't eating me!

Why can't you stand being wrong?

Abacus! Are you OK?

Yes. But I can't get out.

Let me go!

I was making friends!

I didn't even learn her name.

It's Julie.

Argh!

You're in big trouble now.

Down here, PB! Before you get eaten!

Lloyd, she's not going to eat...

I've got you!

PB!

Give her back! You monster!

O-h-h-h-h-h!

Oh, no! PB!

She's gonna be eaten!

Or drowned! Or both!

A way out.

I'm coming, PB!

My wings are all gloopy with plug slime. We'll have to climb.

Oh!

Whoa!

Agh!

Agh.

This is all my fault.

I wanted PB to know that spiders were dangerous, but not like this.

She's probably already been devoured.

Or drowned.

And it's only a matter of time before Biggo removes the plug

and then it's our turn.

What's this sticky thread?

A-a-a-a-gh!

Abacus!

Come to Julie!

You!

So, PB wasn't enough for you and you came back for more!

Well, joke's on you because Abacus is SUPER CHEWY!

Your turn!

Yeah, Spider, how thick do you think I am?

Take your web and stuff it back up your...

Lloyd, just grab the web! I'm fine!

PB? You're... alive!

Julie saved me. She knew bath time was coming,

so, grabbed me, hid on rubber duck, rode it until the water stopped,

got totally soaked, nearly drowned, became best friends, really fun,

then we snuck up the plug chain and now here we are to rescue YOU!

Best hurry.

Biggo's toes are looking wrinkly.

I can't trust a spider, PB.

What if she's saving you for later?

Or using you to get to a more substantial meal - me?!

She seems very friendly, Lloyd. I like her.

Quick! Biggo's going for the plug.

Water incoming!

Oh!

If she eats us, I'm never talking to you agai...

Agh!

So... spiders DON'T eat flies?

Don't be daft, Lloyd.

Of course they do.

But only when I'm hungry.

And I'd never eat a friend.

See? We're all friends now.

Spiders like Julie can last for months between meals.

Mm-hm, mm-hm, mm-hm. Uh... When did you last eat?

Oh... No more than a month. Two at the most.

Why?

Oh! I'm so sorry!

Ooh! Maybe it was three.

Or four.

Um... OK. Can we go now, please?

Right now? Good idea.

I'd hate to spoil our new friendship.

Bye, Julie!

You should come visit sometime!

AFTER you've eaten.

Julie's so cool!

Do you know she can inject digestive juices

that liquefy your insides for easier eating?

And that her web comes out of her bum?

No, no, no.

Ow!

Where did you think it came from?

Ow!

Her wrists!
