Clearly, the BBC Scotland crew needs to dust around its cameras more often.

July 2014: "Meteorologist Glenn Glazer has a surprise visit from a spider while doing the morning forecast."
June 2013: "Global BC Meteorologist Kristi Gordon was surprised by a spider on the weather camera as she did her Noon News forecast."
Dec 2007: No, it's not a spider space invasion, but it is a spider near a space centre
