Field Notes

Description:

Male. Most venomous spider in the UK! (note: not actually dangerous, but they can apparently give a painful nip)

Habitat:

House in southern England

Notes:

Don't believe what the UK tabloids say. These are very shy spiders, and on the rare occasions when they do bite, the venom has no long-lasting effects.
