Looks like a false widow spider. Kill her now before she climbs into your ear tonight in your slumber.
That looks like a black widow. False widows have grey markings on their back. Kill it!
Free protein
black widow it appears.
News just in
Spiderman spotted in Dublin
If there is one thing I have learnt from all these years on r/ireland, it’s how to spot a golden orb weaver spider.
Kill it
Behold a dog
That’s a weird cat
It would appear to be a spider. You’re welcome.
Spider….though I’m no David Attenborough
False Widow spider, they’re an invasive species so you can kill it.
Hammer time
Is the last thing you’ll ever see
Balcony railing in need of TLC?
I’m pretty sure this is either a rabbit hutch spider or a cupboard spider. They are both regularly referred to as types of false widow (false widow is a social construct, only usefully applied to my knowledge to the noble false widow) but these spiders are native species and should be left alone. I’m not an expert or anything but I don’t think you should kill that spider (I assume you already did), I could be wrong though, can’t emphasise enough that I’m not sure but like nobody else here seems to know what they’re talking about either so might as well shoot my shot
Edit:
Steatoda grossa and Steatoda bipunctata for context
Recorded with a Nokia 3200
False Widow with plenty of little baby widows inside… Take it in and nurse the kids, you will clean up on childrens allowance….
Interesting note on the false widow …. they were introduced to Ireland through the importation of goji berries.
That’s a Nope. From the genius Nopeicus Nope. Largely known worldwide as the Nope Widow Nope.
Looks like a pussy to me
Their name is Michael.
That’s just Tom
A couple of my colleagues have come together to review the footage, and we’ve unanimously (well, almost. Except Bob, he’s an odd ball) agreed that the creature in the video is indeed what they refer to in the English tongue as a ‘Spider’.
Its a lol nope! kill it with fire
The absolute audacity of that Octopus
Something to stamp on
A mission giver NPC spider.
Talk to it, maybe the spider has a job for you.
It’s a conker that has grown it’s legs. We usually smash them into eachother before they reach maturity.
Looks like some kind of horse to me, but don’t take my word for it, I’m not a scientist
The spurious widow. Like a false widow, but unconfirmed
Is this a fucking entomology service? NO IT ISNT.
Get outta here.
An opportunity to become a hero?
Unwilling to find out
Don’t know but it requires fire and lots of it ;(((
One of those on my bathroom wall the other night, I gave it a dose of bug spray after a lot of deliberation. They’re hard to catch in a glass because they’re bungee experts.
The spider fell from its spot on the wall and hit the floor so hard its abdomen exploded. I will never forget that sound as long as I live. It was a quick death but I still feel the guilt.
Just rust, use anti corrosion paint
Looks like a bloody redback
That’s a Noble False widow, a cousin of the black widow. Highly venomous and will send you to hospital. Becoming an issue recently in Ireland
It’s a female False Widow.
Feel free to kill it, it’s a false widow.
There’s too many for anyone to ever actually properly get rid of then now unfortunately, but it can’t hurt to crush the fucker
