whilst working this week i came accross this little beauty, i think its a false widow spider, but i might be wrong its looks very similar to a black widow spider but without the red hour glass on its back. it was about an 30-35mm in diameter. if anyone knows exactly what it is id love to know as ive not seen anything quite like it before in the uk.

if it was in your house it must have been a money spider unless it had eaten it

I saw one last summer, if it is the same.

This one was about as big as the largest common house spider, no significant markings and a dull red colour.

Was lifting a paving slab in south lakes area and screached like a girl!:scared1:

my mate bet me a pint i would'nt pick it up, i dont normally pass up a bet but that spider looked serious. it was jet black with a very slight redish tinge, ill try and get some better pics of it. since looking on the web i think it could be to big for a false widow spider.:scared1:
