wonder if there are more

I just met my neighbour, this time Steatoda grossa

the net is facing north side of the compass (perhaps due to lack of sun and wetter than south side)

s.g. has fallen from the net and tried to climb the door when I spotted it.

OP a couple of people have reported this post/thread. Could you please clarify - is the discussion specifically relevant to Greystones?

I honestly had no clue what you were talking about when I first read your post. Why so obtuse?

I have a heap of false black widows in my house. Sure they are grand.



Sorry for the crummy quality.

The markings on some of them are incredible. The one above had a gold rim all the way around it's body and the design on it's back looked like the transformers symbol.
