Any idea what this little cute is pleae? :-)
 

Found this in the spare room last night (possibly came in with the washing?) - any ideas anyone?

I thought it might be a common house spider but from what I've seen online their white bits are more dotted than in a perfect straight line? Its not very big (about the size of a redback) - the pick is taken with it in the bottom of a cup (to give you an idea of size!).

Cheers all :)

It's a scary white back spider, there's also a red back spider, they're both poisonous, but as long as your local gp has the antidote, you'll live!

It could be worse, you could have a nest of them....

What??!!! :scared:

Its still in a cup in the kitchen and I've been assing about taking pics of it!! :scared:

I've never heard of a white back!

Thanks :)

They're the albino version of the red back.

Gotta love the dingos!!

It's a pretty bad bugger... do a search on the white tail as a few have had nasty experiences with them.
Be careful :o

I thought a white tail just had a white tip at the end of its tail? Its still curled up in a cup in the kitchen at the moment! :scared:

You are correct; it's not a white-tail.

White-tails look like this:

Learn more about them here.

The one you have there looks like a common garden spider. :)

That's the ticket! :)

Nope theose spiders look nothing alike

but they both look really horrible and disgusting if that helps you

I would

a) go into the back garden and throw it over the fence or
b) stomp on it (put shoes on first) or
c) flush it down the loo with a good quantity of bleach

:D

The JenJen approach to animal conservation. :D


Don't worry about those MrsJ... we have them in our garden. They get in the washing sometimes. Nothing to worry about.

Have got your email ... will drop you a line later.

I'm having an interesting weekend thanks. Seems I have round 2 of the tummy bug I had last weekend. It's morphed into something different and come back round again.:rolleyes:
Better today though, What you up to?
