....

Spiders can see IR and so can moths.... guess who has hours of footage of
spiders building their webs over the camera lens's...

Also the cameras get hot when running so guess where the spiders set up
shop...... little gits!



Yep I've had that problem (pretty aren't they!). Tried various things:

- a liberal dose of flyspray all round the camera. It works for a while.

- smear vasoline around - they don't like it!
