What kind of spider is this?! PIC (trigger warning blah blah)

[Rapidmama]

Not seen one like this before?

Actually, just noticed it’s only got 6 legs?! Is it even a spider?

False widow missing legs

Looks like a zebra spider
Maybe it's been in an accident?

Garden Spider. You can pop it outside with no guilt.

I've one of those living on a shrub in my garden, it's good at catching wasps!!

Can I showcase my monster? That picture's like 40cm wide BTW..

Well it's definitely not a false widow. Looks like a zebra spider whose been in an accident. Just pop him outside

Garden cross spider, you can just make out the white cross in the picture and the stripey legs.

Does it skit around super fast?? Had a couple of these this year which I’ve not noticed before! I also noticed the 6 leg thing. I’m sure there’s 2 more hiding somewhere probably. I just left them alone and let them eat the flies 😄

Garden spider, they often look like they're missing legs when i see them outside

Yeah I've seen them, when you are not looking they flip out some more legs.

Just a normal outside spider. Deffo not a false widow.

Its a fucking spider. As in "arrrgghhhh there's a fucking spider!!"

Not a false widow, this is the false widow we had last week.
Not sure about this one but I would be happy to pick him up with glass and paper and pop him in garden.

Jesus LongGrass thats massive, are you ok with them?

Longgrass I think yours is a harvest spider, we've had loads of them in our house the last few days, they're huge!

Suppose spiders do fuck otherwise there'd be no babies

Are these the garden spiders that build the huge webs? We have one that builds a web, every night, across our porch entrance (about 2mts wide)
I've always thought they were harmless, typically come out this time of year?

Stonerosie no I'm petrified! Got Dh to tackle it but he let it drop on the floor with a splat. It was ridiculously fast too so he said oh I'll just have to leave it. Fuck no you won't!!! It was in the bedroom too. I made him hunt for it until he found it 😁 was really big haha. Leggy bastard!

It wasn't a harvest spider. It was a mutated form of house spider. Horrible thing. Huge with two longer front legs and moved at the speed of a cheetah.

Haha, loving your description LongGrass totally with you, no way could I have slept with that in the house!
