A "SPIDERMAN" from Whiteleaved Oak who went on-line with his creepy-crawlie business last year is reaping the benefit from his computer bugs.
Russell Willis, a former John Masefield student, launched his insect company Cicada four years ago but, since setting up his own website with the help of Business Link Herefordshire, has seen trade has increased considerably.
"Business Link referred me to the Prince's Trust when I first started and they lent me £2,000," he said.
"So I bought a computer and set up a website which now generates about a third of my business."
Mr Willis also supplies a whole host of invertebrates to TV programmes such as BBCs Wildlife on One and People and Pets.
