Had one exactly the same, 2 weeks back having not seen one for ages. Put it outside then 2 days later see spider running accross the floor... put it out..... and then 2 days later again the same thing. Is this the same spider ? !! Do they know how to get back to a prefered spot or is it mulitple spiders ?

Wish I'd never opened this thread...I now have a sudden urge to get in a shower with a wire brush and a bar of carbolic.

Garden spider - female.

Or possibly rabbit hutch spider.


Perfectly normal arachnids to find around and about the place. No immigration control necessary, just don't poke her about and everything will be fine for everyone except for the local bug population.

looks like normal spider to me! its the ones with great hairy bodies and hairy legs which are at least 3 inches across I have problems with.

The only way to be absolutely sure it's not the same one it to squish it *evil laugh*

Wouldn't go near her with a barge pole so no worries there. Just wish OH would stop feeding her all the flies from the house. I just wonder how big she'll actually go with all that protein... _pale_

Anything with more than 4 legs is not normal.

There is a definite spider invasion going on in my house at the moment.

3 HUGE brutes all came running out in various rooms on Tuesday night, I nearly had a heart attack.

Interestingly the 2 biggest, one in the living room and one in the bathroom both had a leg missing..weird.

The cat was flipping the one in the living room about. hateful!

Gross That happened soon after I moved into a house in Belfast. The house seemed to be riddled with those garden spiders. That's how I finally got over my fear of them - it was them or me!! :rotfl:

*cringe*

I just can't deal with them at all. I turn into the biggest sqwaking jessie you can imagine!

I'm fine with the smallish ones, and have no fear of anything like rats, snakes, wasps etc, but spiders....

I was relying on the cat to finish the brute off, but she just poked at it a bit and then walked off, so it was left to OH to come to my rescue!
