Wtaf is this spider?

[obsessedwithsleep]

I swear it has fangs. Am I being a wimp?

It's a house spider and yes it has fangs. All spiders have fangs and can bite, most of them don't even break the top layer of skin though.

Yep, and all spiders are venomous too.

^ not all spiders are venomous (uloboridae) - but most are

You are not being a wimp at all I would be exactly the same x

Ask it how many flies it will eat while it's in your home. If it's enough, give it lodgings for the foreseeable.

I don't mind spiders , though our dog has other ideas, but I cannot abide flies.

Just a normal house spider, that's a female, she's come out to find a mate.

If you can catch and release nicely, please do, if you don't like them get a little spray bottle and make up a white vinegar, or lemon juice spray and spray around.

They really are harmless though.

House spider looking for a bit of hanky panky. 😉. Often seen late August to September.

Thanks everyone. It just seemed very big!

I wouldn't ever kill a spider. Have got my dh to take it outside for me!
