Just... everywhere.

That noise outside? You bet your arse it's a fox.

That feeling at the back of your neck? A garden spider has definitely set up camp.

I'm not sure. I have the feeling that the increase in foxes is to do with their dens being demolished by construction, so now they sleep under cars.

As for spiders, maybe the same - their woodland homes are destroyed so they take refuge more in gardens?

Oh fuck.
It's so depressing that it must be true & done by humans.

... ty for the clarification :'(

It might not be! It genuinely could be that they've found an abundant food source in the city (our bin men now come only once every 2 weeks instead of every week), and they might be thriving on that.

... that's a nice thought.

Imagine integrated nature into cities where humans don't kill/sterilize everything even at a small cost of human safety.
