Does anybody know what spider was on my friends leg?
Just wanted to make sure you all know, I haven’t had any contact with my friend, she just sent me the photos. Smile

I think it's a nursery web spider.

User3679963 · 24/05/2020 18:47

Actually on a closer look, I think I'm wrong!

No idea but I evicted one of his mates from our greenhouse earlier.

I think it's a young male Tegenaria domestica. Definitely a male with those pedipalps.

Oh interesting! Actually, it's probably a male stone spider ... or, much more rarely, a male sac spider (which I didn't know occurred in the UK).

I do like a male with big pedipalps Grin
Sorry, couldn’t resist (slouches back to under the rock she crawled from)🕷

Whatever type it is, it can fuck the fuck off.

They are it’s wee arm/hand things. Next to its fangs so it can grab the fly and bite it.

(Shudders, return to under rock)
