richev 24 Posted August 28, 2020 Yesterday I caught this little spider in our house. About 1.5cm long, it wasn't a species I've seen before. Based on the photo, can anyone identify it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johndoe 12,968 Posted August 28, 2020 Pic not good enough for ID but if it ain't got a red back, I wouldn't worry. See my art here: https://kevindickinsonfineartphot.smugmug.com/ Copies free to PIO members. PM me for details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobj 9,970 Posted August 28, 2020 Looks like a black house spider, venomous, but not dangerous. Cheers, Bobj. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrsmac 48 Posted August 28, 2020 If it has a little white tip on the end of it's tail, it is a White Tail Spider. A very nasty piece of work. Kill it immediately. (The body shape is right, but I cannot see the end of it's tail.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
