I was doing some pond electrics when I opened up the waterproof box to find this sitting at the bottom, it had crawled in using one of the open hole on the bottom.

I did what I needed and got clear ASAP, I am not scared of spiders but this one looks nasty and I know what I think it is….

I have taken some pictures but they are not great, need a better camera and not the IPHONE.

The spider is jet black with a brown marking on its back, looks like two lines but I must confess I did not get to close…..

See my pictures, if you need more let me know.
