Hi all,
Would be very grateful if someone can tell me what spider this is? Most importantly, whether its a false widow or not.
Been getting a crazy amount of them round the outside of my house and in bbq cover.
Thank you.
UK spider. False Widow?
This spider appears to be in the genus Steatoda, which includes the so-called 'false widow' spiders. These are not nearly as dangerous as some media outlets (such as the Daily Mail) would have one believe - http://www.uksafari.com/steatodagrossa.htm
