gilberto_eire wrote: » Probably the same as the one this thread is about. Called a house spider. They're pretty big in fairness, about the length of a fag box and the legs can be as thick as a match(as opposed to big ones with legs like a head hair). You can hear these walking on the ground they're so big. They start coming indoors around Aug-Sept as they're looking for mates. I think the bigger ones are males, the opposite sex are small whichever way it goes. I'm not too scared of "big spiders" but these ones kind of get me in fairness.
