What Spider

[Swissy]

Hi Guys can you identify this little fellow. I have had a few of his bothers or sisters in the house a few times now . Wife says false widow I am unsure.

Cheers

Definitely not a false widow. Looks like a common house or garden spider to me.

You see I think the same but she is convinced it's Steatoda nobilis. She was that scared she took to Google as I put the little fellow back in the hedge , I of course had to tell her it had met it's end under my boot for the sake of a quite night

Definitely not a Widow.

If your wife is worried, just tell her Widows are only really common in the south (such as where I am, see them constantly), they are also basically harmless.

Looks like a black widow that has been left in the sun too long and gone pale. Burn your house down and move on.

Deathus leggus also known as the rape spider. If it hasn't killed you already call 999 and ask for the à team.

Why would she want you to kill it even if it was a false widow? Does she read the mirror or something?
