Title: How do we estimate the numbers of spiders in the UK? Is it just a guess?

Roy lightning asked the Naked Scientists:

How do scientists work out estimates of how many spiders there are in the UK? Last time I heard it was in the billions. How accurate do you think the estimate is, or is it a guess ?

What do you think?
