  1. False widow, you can tell by markings on back. Looks to be pregnant also. Invasive so vanquish by means of fire is recommended. Bite isn’t all that bad but can lead to bad infections. Very dossile spider. Will only bite if you lay on him I’m bed or put on a sock with him in it. But yeah. Kill him he eats or spiders

  2. I saw one of those beside me today when I was loading the washing machine. Seen as I was in the middle of something I thought to myself “I’ll quickly finish smashing this shite into the machine and then I’ll deal with the spider”. Turned back and the little fucker was gone.👀
    Moral of the story is do the washing quietly and don’t wake up spiders.

  3. That’s a false widow. Kill them if you find them. They are destroying the native spider population. Every second spider i see around my house seems to be these guys. They have a painful bite due to their venom. It should not be serious though to most people. I stepped on one of these in my bare feet walking in my home at night.
