    False black widow?

    What size is it? There's nothing in your pictures to give scale.

    About the size of a 50 cent coin. Maybe slightly smaller.

    Sounds about the right size for a false widow.

    False widow for sure, where in the country you find it?

    Don't believe all the media hype about how it's going to sneak in and kill you in the night.

    very common now - whilst they can bite it seems they rarely do (despite various tabloid scare stories).

    I just left it out in the back garden. It was more afraid of me than I was of it.
