Perfect Pantry

In local news, the black house spider community, along with several chapters of local moth clubs, are in mourning tonight after the staggering loss of life that occurred when the Jones family, of North Narrabeen, cleaned out and renovated their pantry.

Evidence, in the form of several "use before" dates, would suggest these communities, particularly the arachnids, have been thriving for up to as long as five years in this fertile environment. Their diet seems to have consisted of crackers, nuts and several chip varieties, some of which remained in retro packaging, which could almost have been collector's items, had they not been completely decimated from the inside out, by multiple generations of spiders.

Sources say that relatives and friends of the often misunderstood, totally black, yet non-venomous eight-legged victims, are greatly saddened by the loss.

The Joneses are optimistic their brand spanking new pull-out pantry drawers might deter further critter communities from hiding away amongst their snacks up the back of the pantry, for the foreseeable future.
