    Hi guys,

    Just wondering if I could use your expertise to identify this lad

    Don't pay that much attention to spiders but that one was usual, as it appears to have very visible hair on it. I know they probably all do, but it's not that noticeable, that I could see.

    Thanks.

    Looks like a type of False Widow

    Found another one when I was going into the shed earlier. I saw a spider that I thought was a decent size. Poked around beside it with a twig to get it to move, to get a better look at it. Then this big fcuker came out of the shadows and killed/incapacitated the "small" one.

    Do not like spiders, but they're very interesting to look at.

    Did a bit of research, it's actually a giant house spider

    Seems to be all right. Cheers.

    I bet there's dozens of them under my house.

    The first one definitely ain't a false widow either I think.

    Didn't think so either myself.
