What is this spider? False widow?

[DAnDan]

Found a few of these chaps popping up recently and scaring the other half. Looks like it could be a false widow but not 100%.

Any spider experts around?

Edit - Yikes, giant spider. What are the tags to resize it on this new forum?

That's a Tori Amos spider.

These spiders, such precious things.

A friend of mine keeps DWA spiders (black widow, funnel webs etc), those are something to be concerned about, these are just house spiders with a nip.

Man up.

I'm pretty much a little girl when it comes to spiders, but these are smaller than the usual house spiders we get around here so I'm not that fussed about them.

This guy got scooped up in a jar and disposed of, once I'd got a few pictures.

Let it bite you op and update us.

He's not going to biting anyone now!
