OK, let me explain...

The fish room is not insulated,thus not air conditioned. I keep the windows, that have screens, open all summer. I also keep the lights for my different systems on until late in the night  , which is my preferred time to pay them the attention they are due.  So some bugs show up,,no big deal. And a small arachnid is taking advantage of the free buffet.

Once again the BARS photo of the month contest....
