I wish I knew what it was as I was drunk at the time and was going around the house relocating the spider back into the forrest.

Default Re: What spider is this

looks a bit like a Black House Spider, which are venemous but aren't likely to cause too much problem.

It's hard to tell from the photo but it's back legs look too long to be a Black House Spider but of all the ones I know of it most resembles that
