There are no dangerous spiders in Finland. The most venomous one is Argyroneta Aquatica and it is not the one in the picture. As far as I know even the A. Aquatica has never managed to cause any significant harm to anyone.
Dunno, but seems long. Maybe a uni’s Nat. History dept can help. You’ve tried a Google-type image search? No idea if it can give a match (crop in).
>Is there a chance this is dangerous?
Yes, if you are severely arachnophobic it might give you a heart attack.
Or if you are allergic to spider venom, bite is comparable to wasp sting.
No dangerous spiders in Finland. The aquatic spiders “Argyroneta aquatica” bite is pretty much comparable to a bee sting. There is (and has been for 50 years) a population of Chilean recluse spiders “Loxosceles laeta” in Helsinki national history museum. It is considered quite venomous but there has been only one biting incident in 50 years, and that wasnt deadly. So you are pretty safe I think.
Nah it aint gona do anything to you if you dont bother it. And even if it does most that is gona happen is slight irritation around the bite
It might be a fishing spider ([Dolomedes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolomedes)) with the white lines on the sides. If it is, it has venom but isnt deadly to humans unless you are allergic to the venom.
Unless it’s from a cage or zoo of sone sort, nope
Sauvaristihämähäkki
Burn your house
Buy a flamethrower
I have never seen than. Maybe some sort of susihämähäkki? ie. Pardosa -family. I have no idea, I just googled around a bit. Has it made nets?
Don’t worry. We don’t have venomus spiders here in Finland.

Is this monster in Vantaa,or just the north?

Maybe an adolecent Acantholycosa lignaria, juoksuhämähäkki in Finnish. Just googled around, I’m no expert.
It’s the EISAATANAMITÄHELEVETTIHYIVITTUPERKELE Spider, it’s harmless, only causes minor heart attacks and hysteria.
Pretty!! Looks like he has glitter on him
Looks like you caught it in the middle of its yoga routine.
finland doesnt have dangerous spiders, we have dangerous snakes and mushrooms but no spiders
Yup, I recognize those tattoos; that guy is for sure related to one of the most violent Finnish drug cartels.
I’ll see myself out.
It’s just a harmless spiderbro. Just thank it for its service and leave it alone.
This is legit scary. Is it common to find those types in Finland?
Anything that can survive living up there usually is.
He is just a little boy 🙂
They can still give a little bite, if you try to handle them. But not venomous
when has here been spiders like that
Just kill it
There are no harmful spiders in Finland except ticks. That’s not a tick.
Youre fucked
Good to keep in mind that while there’s no native poisonous spiders some retard neighbor could always lose track of their toxic pet
No
