I started with 6 tiny spiderlings in March 1999 and named them Hugh (I know it was Pugh, but I didn't want two spiders with the same name), Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb. Dibble and Grubb didn't make it from spiderlings.
29/11/2002, Hugh, Barney McGrew and Cuthbert were the only survivors. 
08/01/2003 Left with Hugh and Cuthbert who Peter looks after
21/02/2008 Hugh died

On moult 6, Hugh turned into an ant (losing two legs).
On the seventh  moult all legs re-appeared, on the eighth  moult all the legs looked the same again

Notice the back 2 legs in this photo which are  the two new ones, a lot larger  than I expected
