*Warning- contains picture of spider* To be frozen in fear and awe all at the same time!!

I was folding laundry in my bedroom and this chap fell out, across my wrist and onto the floor.

I'm thinking of ways to catch it safely without hurting its legs. Normally I'd put it in my hands and out the window. Not happening this time!

Does anyone know what type of spider this is?

And did I say, HELP!!!!

I did also see this morning a flock of geese flying south. I was thinking it’s just because the lakes are that way, but now after this thread and you mentioning the rowans….

As my Uncle would say "It needs a collar & a lead..."

I am pathetically scared of spider, to the point as a child my brother would place fact cards about them outside my door. I'd refuse to leave or even attempt to jump over them for fear I'd touch one with my foot.

Urg.

I don't usually advocate murder, but this is the time I make exceptions I'm afraid.

Harmless garden spider just pick up and pop outside. No fuss needed!

THIS!!!!!!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Are you an expert? I think you’ll find that they do bite.

Well aren't you the biggest & bravest?! 👏🏻

Aww that's kinda cute. I've loads of spiders in my bungalow, mainly in the bathroom and my bedroom. They don't bother me so I just let them come and go as they please. I just have to remember to check the bath before I turn the shower on that there isn't one sitting in the bath so it doesn't get flushed down the plug hole. I did get bit by a spider the other day though. It must've gotten caught inside my top. I could feel something digging in my arm and I just assumed it was maybe a piece of twig or something that had got caught when washing was outside on the line or a bit of stitching. Put my hand inside to to have a feel and found the culprit and when I pulled my hand out a small spider was on my finger. Must admit I did jump a bit and the poor spider got chucked on the floor. I then spent most of the night apologising to said spider for accidentally killing it. Wasn't painful or anything I just had a rash around the area and 2 different bite marks with a hole in the middle

Well blow me down ! Just found a similar arachnid on the stairs ! He is now relocated under the shed .

There’s also lots of acorns where I am and we had mist/fog this morning too. Some may say old wives tales but in 2018 the same things happened when the beast for the east hit.

Good luck
I left a spider in the window corner thought it was cute, then she had a eggsac so I put her in a pringles can and then tried to get her egg sac, it burst.. 100s of her babies all over my walls, and I still keep seeing them ..

I have a huge one above my kitchen cupboards on the ceiling. No idea if it's male or female by it's named George. George and I have an agreement that if I don't bother him he must stay up there whenever I'm in the kitchen.Thems the rules and if he breaks them I unleash the dogs 😂

Suck it up in a cordless vacuum then deposit it outside. That's what I did today

This

I tried sucking up in a hoover but seems they're quite delicate actually 🙈

Only 2 options here as PP said above!!!!!

Something bit OH in bed last night and it's gone a bit nasty. Bit nervous going to bed tonight. I don't mind big spiders it's those false widow ones that get me going

I used to be afraid of spiders. And then DS1 bought 5 tarantulas and now house spiders don't seem.scary at all.Theyvae sensitive and fragile little things

We've had a couple at home - they are fucking massive this year!

You’ve just added a new question to sellers if I ever move. 😱

Get a big shoe, smack it, hoover.

job done

Oh maybe just thousands of years of evolution to avoid something that could kill us???

I wanted a Mexican red knee tarantula but my dd said if I got one she would never ever set foot in my house again .

She was the same when I had pet rats . 🤷🏻‍♀️

That’s not a girl spider, it’s too small. It’s a boy spider.

Those saying kill it, I just couldn't. I don't believe I have the right to do that and other than staring at us, the spider was causing no harm

Well done OP

I have one of these too (name of Incy) and practically every night it comes out for a scuttle across the carpet, wanders round the room and presumably goes back to base ready for the next time ... quite sweet really, and happily the cats leave it alone
