I'm a plumber working around the Salisbury area. As I was decommissioning a boiler this fella popped out from behind the flu. Can anyone help me identify it as I have never seen one with such bright green fangs!!
What Spider is this?
It's Segestria florentina, a tube web spider - scary looking, but not dangerous to humans...

Thanks a lot. Are they quite common?
Appears to be fairly widespread in southern Britain, but not really common - http://srs.britishspiders.org.uk/portal/p/Summary/s/Segestria+florentina
