Can anyone spec me what this thing is. It's currently crawling around me shed.

Normal ones don't scare me but this thing looks bad news.

Scale err that thing is about 3/4 inches.

Well looked around and it looks like a steatoda grossa

Which lc155 is right, it is the most poisonous in the uk

Took a while to light up, that's one tough spider.

It is indeed a shed, wasn't fun cleaning that lot.

Especially when it's littered with dead bugs around it, some of them house spiders.

Felt like a scene from aliens.

Potentially very poisonous spider, last thing on my mind was to film it.

But next time i will.

hux · 14 Jul 2011 at 21:12

Well i saw what i now know is a small egg sac.

So i'll be in there tomorrow nuking the thing.

Birds aren't poisonous, much as i like em we have kids here.

Nuke from orbit, tis the only way to be sure.

Though i do understand you like the things.
