We had a spider run across a lads hand at work while he putting out Bananas, country of Origin was Columbia although there's always a slight chance it could be domestic (UK)
Sadly because it came in the Bananas from a foreign place policy forces us to preserve it in the freezer, poor little thing only wanted a holiday
Any idea what spider it is?

Pics... failed first time around
Attempt number 2 :/
Forgot to mention, the body is about an inch in length total, legs are roughly an inch each
Cannot be positive of a specific i.d.; possibly a sac spider - see http://spiderbytes.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/C_inclusum_JoeLapp.jpg for an example. These have a very wide distribution, including Britain.
That does look very similar, the colours are alot more bold/opaque on the one we caught but it's very close to it, pics weren't great can't take a decent one through the container, thanks for the help :)
Please keep in mind that most spider species, like humans, can demonstrate a good deal of individual variation.
